European J. of International Management (EJIM), Vol. 4, No. 5, 2010

Abstract: Based on the data obtained by experts in the field, the authors analyse inward Cross-Border Mergers and Acquisitions (C-B M&A) in European countries in 2004 and 2005. The authors questioned professionals at 91 European business schools dealing with the C-B M&A field. The questionnaire referred to positive effects and risks that inward C-B M&A are reportedly causing in European countries, as well as their treatment in the media and by economic policies. To enable a thorough insight into this process in Europe, the authors tested the differences between industrial European countries and the countries experiencing transition. As expected, the empirical analysis demonstrated differences in C-B M&A's economic effects and treatment between the two groups of countries. However, responses' analysis also pointed to the fact that due to the changes they bring to important sectors of industrial economies, C-B M&A also have transitional impact in those countries.
