Han, Chunjia and Thomas, S.R. (2012) Why are China's companies doing overseas M&As? The case of Geely and Volvo. Emerald Emerging Markets Case Studies 2 (8), pp. 1-7. ISSN 2045-0621.
Abstract
Subject area: Mergers and acquisitions, corporate strategy. Study level/applicability: This case could be applied in several courses: a mergers and acquisitions (M&A) course, to introduce the various motives for firms doing M&A, a strategy course exploring a company's strategy exploration and decision processes, or in a marketing course as an example about emerging and global market interaction. The target audience is primarily final year or Masters' and MBA students. It would also be useful for executive education seminars. Case overview: The Case provides learning opportunities about how companies encounter threats due to changing market or fiscal conditions, find ways to address their individual challenges yet achieve mutual benefit, by taking advantage of market-induced opportunities for strategic change, which have been triggered by a combination of situational factors. Expected learning outcomes: The case can be used to illustrate and discuss several important aspects of the growth of companies in emerging markets, including: motives for making M&As; strategic options and selection in the emerging industry; and how regional firms can respond to globalization.
