| Abstract: | The strategy of merger to obtain high growth has long been employed by UK firms to sustain a defendable position within their industry. This study attempts to fill the gap in the existing literature by investigating the motives behind the EC cross-border merger strategies of UK manufacturing companies and contrasts these motives with the reasons outlined in traditional theories on merger. It is the first empirical study in this field. UK merger activity this year appears to be returning back to the USA. |
