AbstractThis paper examines the impact of cross-border acquisitions on the subsequent innovation of acquiring firms in their home countries using emerging market multinationals (EMNEs) as an example. Drawing on the complementary insights of capability catchup and cross-border acquisitions, we submit that EMNEs have a greater chance to improve their innovation at home through cross-border acquisitions, yet this improvement hinges on their orchestration of newly acquired resources and existing resources. We find that characteristics in home country (i.e., high prior R&D investment, weak innovativeness of industry peers, and strong pro-market institutions) and the relatedness between acquiring and acquired firms (i.e., vertically related acquisitions) will make the orchestration more effective and valuable, leading to a stronger innovation-enhancing effect. A longitudinal analysis based on Chinese publicly listed firms during the period from 2000 to 2016 supported the above arguments.
