Vol.06 - February 2020
As Japan's domestic market shrinks, Japanese companies are continuing to pursue opportunities in new markets by acquiring overseas businesses aiming for future growth. However, as buyers, they continue to face a range of post-acquisition challenges associated with management, human resources, corporate systems and corporate culture. Key to successful overseas M&A is to ensure an individual understanding of the local characteristics in the country or region of the acquisition. How do you balance the risks and benefits associated with successful overseas market entry? Over the course of three consecutive issues, we will cover eight major global markets and explain the market characteristics that should be understood in order to link M&A to subsequent value creation, as well as points to be mindful of at the execution stage of investment.
