(Bandırma 17 Eylül Üniversitesi, 2016) Genç, Ömer Faruk; AGÜ, Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü; Genç, Ömer Faruk
International Aquisitions (IAs) have been used extensively by companies. Although IAsdiffer from domestic aquisitions, there is not a literature review about how they differ. A literature review of acquisitions in terms of comparison between international and domestic deals is provided in this study. Based on the literature, it was shown that international acquisitions differ significantly from domestic acquisitions in terms of motivations, outcomes, success factors, integration problems, information asymmetry, and diversification. The study also identifies new aveanues for acquisition researh. The acquisition paradox and motivation-outcome inconsistency are identified as major issues in acquisition research, and ways to deal with these issues including using benchmarking methodology, risk-adjusted returns, and examining motivations in different ways are provided. In addition, acquisitions by emerging market multinationals and private companies, acquisitions of state-owned enterprises, pre-announcement and negotiation stages are identified as understudied areas with great potential in acquisition research.

(Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit Üniversitesi, 2018) Genç, Ömer Faruk; Kalkan, Burak; 0000-0001-7747-1095; AGÜ, Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü; Kalkan, Burak
This study analyses acquisitions that Turkish companies are involved between 1990- 2017 by analyzing trends in number and volume of activity, geographic dispersion of foreign acquirers and targets, deal characteristics. We also group acquisitions into three according to the home country of acquirers and targets and compare. As being the first study to analyze all three groups at the same time and having the most comprehensive sample in terms of period, this study contributes to the literature by providing a detailed and comprehensive understanding of Turkish M&As. We finally discuss implications for firms and policymakers while providing insights for future research
