Abstract (ENG): |
The growth of Chinese foreign acquisitions in
Europe has attracted interest from businesses,
media, and governments, raising concerns
about potential transfers of knowledge and
unclear linkages with Chinese governmental
plans and subsidies. Still, it is important to
bear in mind that each acquisition presents
different backgrounds, strategies, priorities,
and operational procedures. Some investments
are business-driven, others are private; some
fit the Chinese government’s plans and some
do not. |
