 | Cross-Border Mergers and Acquisitions: UK Dimensions Subjects: Economics Finance Business & Industry; Economics; Finance; Business Management and Accounting; Macroeconomics; Corporate Finance; International Business; Strategic Management; Accounting; Cross-border mergers and acquisitions (CBM&As) activitynbsp;has become an important vehicle for firms' internationalization and corporate restructuring over the past three decades. Despite the huge volume of global CBM&A activity, however, there are few books which carefully explore the strategies, motives, and consequences of global mergers and acquisitions. This book discusses and synthesizesnbsp;the theoretical literature on the motivation and performance of international merger activities.nbsp;Focusing onnbsp;the UK as a top acquiring country in the European Union, the authors explore the recent trends in cross-border mergers and acquisitions, motives for cross-border mergers and acquisitions, the mergers integration process, home and host countries' macroeconomic consequences on mergers and acquisitions, and shareholder's wealth effects on CBM&A. This book explores and sheds much-needed light on the UK CBM&A market, what drives it, and what lessons can be learned for other regions around the globe.
