This study provides an empirical investigation on how communication practices impact the post-acquisition integration outcomes, in the context of Chinese cross-border mergers and acquisitions (CBMAs). We tailored our assessment to reflect communication practices during Chinese CBMA integration. The integration outcomes are measured by organizational commitment and strategic performance improvement. Using a data collected via survey from global executives and middle managers, we find that communication accuracy, channel efficiency, and overseas business management department positively impact organizational commitment. Moreover, inter-organizational trust mediates the effect of communication accuracy on organizational commitment, and communication officer on organizational commitment. In addition, we find that the language barrier of the Chairman negatively impacts strategic performance improvement. Moreover, acquisition experience, business relatedness, industrial investors, private-owned investors, and management consultant all positively affect strategic performance improvement. However, middle managers negatively impact the integration outcomes.

This study empirically investigates the direct and interactive effects of firm-level ethics policies and country-level investor protection on firm corporate governance transparency. Using data on 9298 firms collected from the Bloomberg Terminal, we find that there is a positive relationship between country-level investor protection and firm corporate governance transparency. The results also support the argument that firms with existing ethics policies exhibit greater corporate governance transparency. We also find that in countries with weaker investor protection, the impact of firm-level ethics policies on corporate governance transparency is stronger. This study advances our understanding of the corporate governance transparency determinants, and the empirical evidence supports the notion that firm-level factors such as ethics policies may compensate for the lack of formal national investor protection regulations.
