ABSTRACT
This chapter introduces cross-border M&As of Korean firms, including their value, location, and industry distribution, both inbound and outbound. It discusses the main applicable regulations, the influence of foreign investment, and the procedures involved with foreign entities acquiring Korean firms. It also includes a case study. Given the cultural uniqueness of Korea and its relatively high language barrier, we provide contextual analyses and managerial implications for post-M&A management of foreign subsidiaries in South Korea.
