Being awkward: creating conscious culture change

摘要

In the first half of 2014, cross-border deals represented 46.1 per cent of all mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions, the highest percentage ever, and with a total value of $724 billion, international M&A is back to pre-recession levels (Ungerman, 2014). While there are numerous factors driving this growth, the continued, if slower, growth of emerging markets, particularly China, India and Brazil, has played a significant role in this pronounced increase in cross-border M&A.
