The Sixth Session

Topic: Employee and Organizational Performance in a Cross-Border Acquisition Context


In the past few decades, Chinese firms have walked out mainland China to expand their business world, not only in marketing and trade but also investment. There have been various interesting aspects emerged in those outward investment by Chinese firms. People may pay attention to business performance, cross culture management. Scant research focuses on examining the link between individual level performance and organizational level performance in the context of cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A), for example, emotions of employees and their impacts on Post-merger Integration (PMI). Particularly employee withdrawal adversely affects organizations, and thus it has been associated with negative consequences for organizations, and it is regarded to be a counter-productive work behavior. This talk provides a view from an empirical investigation of the determinants of employee withdrawal and consequences of employee withdrawal on willingness to share tacit knowledge, knowledge transfer and cross border acquisition performance in the context of Chinese acquisition in the UK.
