    Existing empirical studies of cross-border acquisition completion by emerging market multinational enterprises remain highly contextual, yielding inconsistent evidence regarding the determinants of deal success or failure. We apply machine learning to expose underlying complexities. The learning results of LightGBM, from data on 24,693 cross-border acquisition deals involving 29 emerging countries, unveil a comprehensive picture of the relative importance and impact patterns of 59 predictors that were fragmentally, inconsistently, or not at all presented in the extant literature. Our findings offer fresh insights into the deal completion of cross-border acquisitions by emerging market multinational enterprises, suggesting novel future research priorities.

  • How founder characteristics imprint ventures’ internationalization processes: The role of international experience and cognitive beliefs
    Item type: Journal Article
    De Cock, Robin; Andries, Petra; Clarysse, Bart (2021)
    Journal of World Business
    While ample research has demonstrated that venture founders’ international experience affects their decision to internationalize, it is unclear how this experience affects the actual internationalization process of ventures that move abroad. We use a multiple case study approach to collect data on founders’ international experiences and cognitive beliefs about internationalization, the strategic decisions taken with respect to the internationalization process of their venture, and the relationship between them. We identify four types of international entrepreneurs that differ with respect to their international experiences and beliefs, and show how these differences affect the strategic decisions taken in the actual internationalization process.
