Abstract:Based on performance feedback theory and institutional theory, 355 firms listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges A-share that conducted cross-border M&A in 2016-2018 are used to explore the effects of historical performance expectation gap and industry performance expectation gap on the entry mode of cross-border M&A of Chinese firms and further test the moderating effect of institutional differences. The findings show that,(i)The larger the performance expectation gap, the more Chinese firms tend to adopt the wholly-owned M&A entry mode to enter overseas markets;(ii)Institutional differences have a negative moderating effect on the positive relationship between performance expectation gap and firms’ choice of the sole proprietorship entry mode of cross-border M&A.
