What is... A Cross-Border Acquisition
The first benefit of a cross border acquisition is that the time frame is much shorter. A Greenfield investment is developed from the ground up, whereas an acquisition would be of an already existing development hence set market presence. This option may also be a much easier way to gain a competitive advantage while taking away a foreign competitor. Thirdly, foreign markets are considered imperfect, hence there may be options to acquire firms at a discount and so forth. B
