The South East Asian Journal of Management
This paper aims to investigate if the Chinese economic ties with Sub Saharan Africa serve as a substitute for this existing European-African relationship.

Because natural resources, especially oil, appear to be a driver for Sino-African trade this study focuses on oil-importing and oil-exporting African countries. The group of oil-importing African countries is formed by South Africa, Ghana, and Kenya. The oil-producing countries …

Negative effects of diversification can be found if hubris generates too large take-over premiums or if managers consume perks related to company size. Also, tunneling and propping may reduce company value. We show …
