Abstract
International mergers and acquisitions (M&As) involving Chinese businesses are a relatively new phenomenon. In recent years, however, there have been some high-profile international M&As involving Chinese technology firms such as Lenovo and TCL. In particular, TCL's M&A activities in Europe did not work out as planned due to a number of unforeseen difficulties. This chapter investigates the enabling factors and motivations associated with Chinese businesses' outward M&A activities and examines the determinants of M&A performances. Specifically, we provide three M&A case studies of TCL in Europe – the Schneider acquisition in Germany, the TCL-Thomson deal, and the TCL-Alcatel deal.
