It offers exclusive insights into Japanese overseas acquisitions obtained from extensive research into over 100 actual outbound transactions. The author explores why many of these deals have failed and what works for success. Matsumoto’s innovative approach to analyzing post-acquisition management strategy not only contributes to academic achievement, but will also assist CEOs who are pursing overseas acquisitions.” — Kazumasa Iwata, Professor Emeritus, the University of Tokyo, President, Japan Center for Economic Research and Former Deputy Governor, the Bank of Japan This book reviews the past 116 Japanese outbound acquisitions in three decades and determines success and failure, with the goal of explaining what works. Dr. Matsumoto emphasizes that such acquisitions are part of a long-term strategy and should not be judged based short-term gains and losses, especially short-term changes in company stock prices. The book also highlights common pitfalls hidden within the expected benefits of these overseas acquisitions.
