Abstract

Measures the influence a foreign take‐over has on the performance of a firm. More precisely, compares the performance of Belgian companies that have been taken over by Belgians with the performance of Belgian companies that have been taken over by foreigners. Concludes that foreign takeovers have no negative influence on the performance of companies. Moreover, it is clear that foreign companies take over better performing companies than their Belgian counterparts.
