Abstract

Extant research on cross-border mergers and acquisitions (CB M&As) undertaken in the emerging markets of the Asia–Pacific region has increased in recent years due to economic potential and growth there. The current chapter undertakes a literature review to analyze academic publications focusing on CB M&As in that context during 2008–2023 time period. Along with brief descriptive findings of reviewed literature, this chapter specifically presents key aspects of prior research thematically concerning motivations, decision factors, performance, and risks associated with CB M&As in Asia–Pacific. Finally, the chapter presents implications aimed at business managers and policymakers, along with future research directions.
