A Study Of Cross-Border Takeovers: Examining The Impact Of National Culture On Internalization Benefits, And The Implications Of Early Versus Late-Mover Status For Bidders And Their Rivals, Tanja Steigner Feb 2008

A Study Of Cross-Border Takeovers: Examining The Impact Of National Culture On Internalization Benefits, And The Implications Of Early Versus Late-Mover Status For Bidders And Their Rivals, Tanja Steigner

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation consists of two self-contained chapters that empirically examine bidder firm returns of U.S. companies in cross-border mergers and acquisitions. In chapter one I examine how cultural distance between bidder and target country impacts internalization benefits. The results suggest that shareholders are initially concerned about the acquisition in culturally distant countries, which outweighs any potential benefits from internalization. However, in the long-run we observe a significant reversal of these findings. In the second and third year following the announcement, greater cultural distance positively impacts the bidder firm's operating performance and the bidder experiences significant internalization benefits from technological know-how …

Self-Promotion Saturday: Introductions, Kate Merkel-Hess

China Beat Blog: Archive 2008-2012

By this point, some of our readers may be wondering who the China Beatwriters are, or rather wondering who is involved beside the few names that ring a bell. I wanted to take a few minutes to introduce everyone—briefly, since this is an accomplished group, and full introductions might run rather long.

UCI is my own home, and other Orange County-based contributors include Ken Pomeranz (who has produced ambitious works of comparative history, such as The Great Divergence, as well as …

Digital Law Vs. Analog Lawyers, Albert Borgmann Feb 2008

Digital Law Vs. Analog Lawyers, Albert Borgmann

Philosophy Faculty Publications

Lawyers are conflicted and confused about the role technology plays in their lives, and their attempts at clarification that I’m familiar with have been thoughtful for the most part, but not successful. Most lawyers do understand that technology can be a problem either as the subject or as the background of their practice. It’s their subject when they litigate issues of electronic surveillance or copyright infringements on the Internet. It’s the background of their practice when they use a computer, a cell phone, or PowerPoint.

The year 2007 is a special one for those interested in Switzerland and in American science.

The Planting Of New Bilten, Duane H. Freitag, Robert A. Elmer Feb 2008

The Planting Of New Bilten, Duane H. Freitag, Robert A. Elmer

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Almost forgotten now, the farming region of New Bilten in Wisconsin's Green County was once a pivotal part of the Swiss immigrant community there and deeply intertwined in the founding of the state's renowned cheese-making industry. The region is centered in a valley south of New Glarus once known as the Biltental (Bilten valley), where more than a dozen families from the Canton Glarus village of the same name settled as a group in July of 1847.
