Publication: “Location Strategies and Value Creation of International Mergers and Acquisitions”, by Ludivine Chalençon

Evènement | April 4, 2017

This title enriches two areas of research, finance and international management, to analyze the choice of location and value creation in international mergers and acquisitions conducted by large French groups.

A focus is realized on the specificities of deals with firms from mature and emerging countries. Our research answers the following question: What are the determinants of the location and value creation in mergers and acquisitions? 

This research is based on a doctoral thesis awarded by the French Association of Mergers and Acquisitions Managers (ARFA) in 2015, which brings together the heads of mergers and acquisitions of the CAC 40 (leading French listed companies).  The thesis of Ludivine Chalençon was supervised by Professors Alain Marion and Ulrike Mayrhofer, iaelyon Magellan Research Center - Jean Moulin University.
