Abstract

In this paper we investigate the role of ownership identities of acquiring Brazilian multinational enterprises in determining industrial diversification strategies in cross-border mergers and acquisitions. Based on institutions-based theory and risk averse arguments, we hypothesize that different ownership types such as government majority ownership and private business group affiliation can influence the diversification strategies when determining related or unrelated international acquisitions. We also argue that the industry diversification strategies abroad will be moderated by cross-country institutional differences between the host country and Brazil.
