  • effects of industry and region specific acquisition experience on value creation in cross border acquisitions the moderating role of Cultural Similarity
    Journal of Management Studies, 2015
    Co-Authors: Dynah A. Basuil, Deepak K. Datta
    Abstract:

    Based on a sample of 222 cross-border acquisitions by US firms in the service sector, our study examines the effects of acquiring firms' prior cross-border acquisition experience in the same industry and geographic region as the acquired firm on shareholder value creation. Using the BHAR (buy-and-hold abnormal returns) methodology, we find that higher levels of industry-specific and region-specific acquisition experience translate into greater shareholder value creation for acquiring firms in subsequent acquisitions. In addition, our results indicate that the effects of industry-specific acquisition experience on acquisition performance are contingent on the level of Cultural Similarity between the acquiring and acquired firm countries, with the benefits of prior experience being greater in acquisitions undertaken in Culturally similar countries. We also find that the moderating effects of Cultural Similarity on the relationship between industry-specific acquisition experience and value creation are contingent on the level of prior region-specific acquisition experience possessed by the acquiring firm.

  • presumed Cultural Similarity paradox expatriate adjustment and performance across the border or over the globe
    Journal of Global Mobility: The Home of Expatriate Management Research, 2013
    Co-Authors: P Vromans, M L Van Engen, Stefan T Mol
    Abstract:

    Purpose – To introduce the presumed Cultural Similarity paradox as a possible explanation for the findings that adjusting to a Culturally similar country is just as difficult as adjusting to a Culturally dissimilar country. We provide a conceptual framework, enabling further understanding and research into this phenomenon. Design/methodology/approach – Expatriates moving to a country that shares common characteristics may presume more Cultural Similarity and easier adjustment than is actually the case. During their stay abroad, expatriates may find that these expectations are not met. While the smaller Cultural distance may facilitate adjustment, the undermet expectations inhibit adjustment and performance. Findings – A first preliminary test compared Dutch expatriates in Belgium (Culturally similar) and in China (Culturally dissimilar). The expectations of Cultural Similarity and adjustment difficulty of the expatriates in Belgium were significantly more undermet than those of the expatriates in China an...

  • Presumed Cultural Similarity paradox : Expatriate adjustment and performance across the border or over the globe

Findings - – A first preliminary test compared Dutch expatriates in Belgium (Culturally similar) and in China (Culturally dissimilar). The expectations of Cultural Similarity and adjustment difficulty of the expatriates in Belgium were significantly more undermet than those of the expatriates in China and this had a negative influence on affective adjustment. The larger Cultural distance of China was negatively related to interCultural adjustment. Better adjustment, both affective and interCultural, led to better job performance. Research limitations/implications - – Future research should try to replicate and extend our findings to other Cultural contexts. Practical implications - – Expatriates and their employers must consider and prepare for the increased chance of undermet expectations and the negative consequences this can have on adjustment and job performance, when moving to a Culturally similar country. Social implications - – Expatriates and their employers must consider and prepare for the increased chance of undermet expectations and the negative consequences this can have on adjustment and job performance, when moving to a Culturally similar country. Originality/value - – This paper conceptualizes and provide a theoretical framework that should allow future research to empirically test the psychological process that occurs in this paradox, accommodate the contrasting effects of Cultural distance and met expectations of Cultural Similarity and investigate which characteristics of countries lead expatriates to presume more Cultural Similarity than is the case.

  • Understanding Bias in Surgery: Perceived Cultural Similarity Between Surgeons and Patient Families.
    Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2021
    Co-Authors: Grace R Leu, Anne R Links, David E Tunkel, Jonathan M Walsh, Marisa A Ryan, Heather Dicarlo, Eric B Jelin, Mary Catherine Beach, Emily F Boss
    Abstract:

    We describe surgeon and parent perceptions of Similarity toward each other and evaluate differences in the perceptions of Similarity by race. Observational cohort analysis. Three outpatient sites. Following consultations for children undergoing evaluation for 1 of 3 surgical procedures (tonsillectomy, hernia repair, circumcision), surgeons and parents rated their perception of Cultural Similarity toward each other on a 6-point Likert scale. Surgeon evaluation of 9 parent characteristics was measured with 7-point Likert scales. Regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of greater surgeon-perceived Similarity and to assess associations of perceived Similarity with evaluation of parent characteristics. Most parents were women (n = 38, 84%), whereas surgeons were primarily men (n = 7, 54%). Of 45 parents, 23 (51%) were non-White, whereas only 4 of 13 clinicians (31%) were non-White. Mean perceived Similarity score was 21.7 for parents (range, 10-24) and 18.2 for surgeons (range, 10-24). There was no difference in parent-perceived Similarity based on race (White vs non-White parents, mean [SD] = 22.3 [3.4] vs 21.1 [3.0]; P = .26). Surgeons perceived greater Similarity with White parents (odds ratio = 4.78; 95% CI, 1.02-22.54; P = .04) and parents with higher income (odds ratio = 11.84; 95% CI, 1.32-106.04; P = .03). Greater perceived Similarity by the surgeons was associated with more positive assessments of parent personality characteristics. Surgeons perceived Similarity more commonly with White parents, while parents' perception of Similarity to surgeons was uniform regardless of parent race. Elucidating biases of surgeons may help to tailor interventions promoting Culturally competent, equitable communication and decision making for elective surgery.
