讲座摘要:
This study examines an important but understudied phenomenon of why multinational firms hire home-country financial advisors in cross-border mergers and acquisitions. Using a power balance approach, we conceptualize that financial advisors can serve as a third-party force used by multinational acquirers to balance the bargaining power of target firms in the global market. Using a sample of cross-border acquisitions conducted by U.S. firms in a number of countries, we find that target importance, target social capital, and target advisor experience increase the propensity that acquirers will hire home-country financial advisors to balance the target power. Moreover, the common language between the host and home countries enhances the effects of target social capital and target advisor experience.
