This volume is the second of a three-volume set designed for use in a course in applied international corporate finance for managers and executives. This volume’s issue is how uncertain foreign exchange (FX) rate changes affect a firm’s ongoing cash flows and equity value, and what can be done in terms of hedging this risk using financial instruments. The accounting implications are also considered. Numerous examples of real-world companies are used. The volume contains a hypothetical case that ties the material together. The first volume reviews some basics of FX rates: Introduction to Foreign Exchange Rates, 2nd edition, Business Expert Press, 2016. The third volume deals with the estimation of the cost of capital for international operations and the evaluation of overseas investment proposals: Applied International Finance II: International Cost of Capital and Capital Budgeting, 2nd edition, Business Expert Press, 2017.

This book primarily deals with corporate restructuring through mergers and acquisitions (M&As). It critically examines all functions that must be performed in completing an M&A transaction. Domestic and cross-border M&A’s are very similar in many respects even though differences between them also exist. The book includes discussions of international finance and multinational financial management, the topics that arise in cross-border M&A transactions. Given the increasing importance of China as the second largest economy in the world and Chinese companies’ growing merger and acquisition (M&A) activities globally, we devote the last two chapters of the book to China’s outward foreign direct investment and cross-border M&A activities. Moreover, the second volume includes the case studies regarding Chinese foreign direct investment both in Greenfield and acquisition forms give additional insights into challenging tasks of due diligence and post-merger cultural integration that foreign investors face. The M&A literature is a fragmented field of inquiry. The book brings together important, practical insights from this vast literature in a short, but cohesive form that has high managerial relevance.

This volume is part of a three-volume set designed for use in a course in applied international corporate finance for managers and executives. Instead of the “encyclopedic” approach, the volumes focus on main issues of interest to managers who deal with overseas operations. This volume’s issue is how uncertain foreign exchange (FX) rate changes affect a firm’s ongoing cash flows and equity value, and what can be done about this risk.
