"The investment climates of many Asian countries have changed substantially over the last ten years. Many changes such as deregulation, privatization, new free trade agreements, and new incentives for foreign direct investment have had a very positive impact on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in Asia." "Mergers and Acquisitions in Asia provides the latest information on the investment climates and M&A activities in Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and five Southeast Asian countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. Roger Y. W. Tang and Ali M. Metwalli closely examine data from the Worldwide M&A Database maintained by Thomson Financial Service and draw comparisons among countries and regions. Special attention is paid to the United States as a major trading partner of the selected countries; US trade and investment relations with these countries are analyzed."--BOOK JACKET.
