For an intensive analytical research on this topic, this paper presents a comprehensive framework for analyzing the various impacts of cross-border M&As on the competitiveness of the host economies. We apply this framework to the data from five outstanding and considerable cases of each host economy. Differences in impact of cross-border M&As are shown along four dimensions (Porter 1990, Dunning 2003): Factor Conditions, Demand Conditions, Related & Supporting Sectors, and Strategy, Structure & Rivalry. The results of this study give a better understanding of cross-border M&A impacts, and provide strong support for positive impacts on host economies. Key Words: Cross-border M&A, APEC, Korea; China; Hong Kong, China, diamond model, competitiveness. INTRODUCTION Gross production associated with foreign direct investment (FDI) has been increasing faster than global GDP or global exports.

  • LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL BRIEF DAO HENG BANK LIMITED (MERGER) BILL Introduction 1. the Chief Executive Granted His Consent for the Bi
    LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL BRIEF DAO HENG BANK LIMITED (MERGER) BILL Introduction 1. The Chief Executive granted his consent for the Bill to be introduced before the Legislative Council on 24 January 2003. This Bill is introduced under Article 74 of the Basic Law by Legislative Council member, Dr. Hon. David Li Kwok-po, GBS, JP. The Financial Affairs Panel of the Legislative Council was consulted regarding the Bill on 4 November 2002, and Members supported the general objectives of the Bill. Background and Purpose 2. The Bill provides for the merger of Overseas Trust Bank, Limited (OTB) and DBS Kwong On Bank Limited (DKOB and together with OTB, the Transferring Banks) with Dao Heng Bank Limited (Dao Heng Bank). The intention of the merger is to allow Dao Heng Bank to consolidate its banking business with the Transferring Banks to increase efficiency through economies of scale. All of the banks are members of the DBS Group which is headed by The Development Bank of Singapore Limited. 3. In a number of jurisdictions, such as the United States, Japan and Switzerland, two banks can merge with one another by way of "universal succession". However Hong Kong company law does not have such a concept as universal succession. Accordingly bank mergers in Hong Kong may only be effected either by transfer of all property and liabilities by way of novation or assignment or by introducing a Bill to the Legislative Council which transfers all property and liabilities of the merging bank which are governed by Hong Kong law. Given the large number of outstanding agreements between the Transferring Banks and their customers, it is not practical to transfer such assets and liabilities by way of novation and assignment to Dao Heng Bank.
