Abstract
The study of mergers and acquisitions is commonly done by many academic researchers in the area of corporate finance and covers a wide range of issues. This paper focuses on assessing Malaysian firms’ cross-border merger and acquisition (CBMA) efficiency due to the fact that Malaysian firms have been reported to be aggressively involved in CBMA deals as early as the 1990s. This research aims to assess the true efficiency of Malaysian acquiring firms listed on Bursa Malaysia by using data envelopment analysis (DEA) for the study period 2000–2011. The annual financial data of the firms involved in CBMA and the employment of DEA coupled with the statistical tool will help to evaluate the effectiveness of the firms. It is expected that there is a significant correlation between the chosen input and output factors to the actual DEA score.
