Mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures in the Middle East have developed rapidly between 2000 and 2008, driven by strong economic growth, increasing openness to foreign investment and an appetite for deals among local and foreign investors. Given restrictions on foreign ownership, MandA activity has been nearly all by companies from within the Middle East, whereas outside investors have entered into joint ventures. Over time, greater openness will make MandA as well as joint ventures valid options for international investors. Although deal volumes have reduced significantly during the global financial crisis (2008 - 2010), the Middle East will continue to be a highly attractive emerging market, characterized by rapid growth, improved regulation and significant oil wealth. This book provides a clear step-by-step framework for defining and implementing direct investment strategies in the Middle East, illustrated with examples and cases in each chapter. Regional considerations, such as cultural differences, legal aspects and local market structures will be dealt with throughout. Codice articolo LU-9781606492055

Riassunto:

Over the next decade, the economies of the Middle East will continue to be characterized by rapid growth, political turmoil, and increasing competitive intensity. International investors have the choice either to ignore the region all together and bypass business opportunities with great potential or to make a careful assessment of which countries to enter and how to enter them successfully. This book is the first of its kind to include the information, insights, and frameworks that are required to develop entry and growth strategies for the Middle East in the new turbulent environment following the global economic crisis and the Arab Spring. The first part of this book provides an in-depth analysis of the major developments that determine the business environment of different countries in the region, including a discussion of major social and economic developments, the impact of the rise in multinational companies from the Middle East, and the role played by institutions and political risk. The second part deals with each of the major decisions that a company planning to grow in the region needs to make: Which countries to enter? What is the right entry mode and ownership structure? How to choose between a greenfield operation and an acquisition? This book concludes with valuable and practical advice on the process of setting up operations in the Middle East.
