Abstract
ABSTRACT Shattering the all-time high record of $68.15 billion set by AT&T in April 2000, Alibaba became the world’s largest IPO, raising $169.4 billion at the New York Stock Exchange in September 2014. Using this outstanding case, the underlying drivers for foreign IPO success were explored. Four propositions are elaborated on: (1) companies choose the capital market with the institutional environment accommodating their internal characteristics, thereby taking advantage of the institutional differences between home and host countries to facilitate their development strategy; and (2) companies’ IPO success is largely driven by the industry growth potential, fundamentals, and strategic alliances.
期刊介绍：
The growth of the Asia Pacific region and the rising presence of its multinationals in world markets has raised a number of questions about the origins of national economic success. Asia Pacific Business Review addresses these key issues and draws together the lessons of the analysis of culture, economies, history, politics and societies in the area, in order to explore business-related phenomena in the Asia Pacific countries, both in their general and specific contexts. The Review is intended for both academics and interested observers, contains the contributions of recognized experts, and is essential to anyone seeking the latest research on Asia Pacific business in a readily available, approachable form. We welcome articles which deal with nations and societies in the Asia Pacific region, namely those in East Asia and South-East Asia (but not South Asia), including those in APEC and ASEAN, individually or comparatively. Of interest also are contributions on the Asia Pacific economies, comparing those inside with those outside, or those investing in it. We do not, however, publish papers based solely on countries from outside the region.
