Abstract
International acquisitions (IAs) have become an increasingly important strategy for firms in global economies. In particular, IAs by emerging market multinational corporations (EMNCs) are rapidly gaining important attention (Beebenroth & Hemmert, 2013) because they have recently started influencing the world economies by means of their acquisitions of major MNCs from advanced economies with an annual growth rate of 26 percent (Rothenbuecher & Hoyningen-Huene, 2008).
