Global Strategy 3rd Edition by Mike Peng

Exercise 1

ON ETHICS: As members of the executive team of a firm, you are trying to decide whether to acquire a foreign firm. The size of your firm will double after this acquisition and it will become the largest in your industry. On the one hand, you are excited about the opportunity to be a leading captain of industry and the associated power, prestige, and income (you expect your income to double next year). On the other hand, you have just read this chapter and are troubled by the 70% M A failure rate. Working in small groups of three or four, develop a strategy for success. Present your strategy in a short paper or visual presentation.
