Abstract
The rising phenomenon of crossborder
acquisitions by emerging
multinational companies from India
provides a real time opportunity for
scholars to unearth its distinctive
character. Yet, going by the limited
scholarly material documenting this
phenomenon, there appears to be gap
between practice and academia. The
authors attempt to spur the imagination
of the research community by
revealing several anomalies in the
broad pattern of data visible in crossborder
acquisitions by Indian firms
and the many merits of exploring its
nuances. Using the Indian case as an
exemplar of emerging economy
context and analyzing some of the
stylized aspects of the available
data,the paper uncovers the numerous
research questions that arise and thus
provide an agenda for future research.
