Funded Activity Summary

Venture Capital, Private Equity and the Internationalisation of Entrepreneurial Firms. Firms face significant hurdles in undertaking cross-border transactions due to information asymmetries arising from differing cultural and corporate environments. The project investigates the role of venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) funds in facilitating the internationalisation of the entrepreneurial firms in which they invest, in developed and emerging markets. The role of VC/PE funds in facilitating cross-border takeovers and foreign initial public offerings, is analysed. The mechanisms of internationalisation are tested, including the impact of VC/PE funds’ connections with other VC/PE funds and intermediaries, and their international experience. The role of VC/PE in establishing cross-border economic ties is highlighted.
