Slides prepared by John Gionea.. 4–74–7 M & As vs greenfield investments At the time of entry and in the short term M & As may involve smaller benefits or larger negative impacts from the perspective of host-country development. –Financial resources do not always add to stock. –Less likely to transfer new technologies and skills. –Does not generate employment (possible lay-offs). –Can increase concentration and lessen competition. However, in the long term many differences diminish or disappear.

UNCTAD’s World Investment Report 2000 concluded that, under normal circumstances, greenfield FDI is more useful, in terms of its developmental impact, to host countries than cross-border M & As. However, under exceptional circumstances (e.g. economic crisis) cross-border M & As can play a useful role.
