Do board interlocks affect the frequency and pace of cross-border acquisitions by emerging market firms?
LONG RANGE PLANNING(2023)
摘要
In emerging markets, where strategic information is hard to obtain and often unreliable, how local firms acquire information to execute cross-border acquisitions is unclear. In this paper, we posit that when the market for information is weak, and firms lack experiential knowledge, board interlocks with other cross-border acquirers affect the frequency and pace of cross-border acquisitions. Furthermore, we anticipate board interlock efficacy to decline with the focal firm's firsthand experience (substitution effect) and foreign institutional investors (FIIs) equity holding in the local firm (self-disciplining effect). We find support for our hypotheses in a large sample of Indian firms for the period 2003-2014. Our paper contributes to mergers and acquisitions and emerging markets literature.
