Dead Firms: Causes and Effects of Cross-Border Corporate Insolvency

Bucking the trend of business literature to be optimistic and its focus on the US, scholars of economics and business management from emerging and industrialized nations analyze cross-border insolvency at different levels of analysis and with different emphases. They cover what kills a reputation: post-mortem analysis of Jekyll-Hyde business leaders, the Peruvian Amazon Company''s death: the jungle devoured them, whether government''s intervention can reduce external financing of firms'' working capital in Nigeria, survival and death in the Indian corporate sectors, public policy restricting free flow of capital, exchange rate control, and possible effects of cross-border insolvency: the case of Latin American countries, the El Zancudo mining company, and the extent to which differences in legal systems affect cross-border insolvency: evidence from foreign-owned Italian firms. Why do firms die? This volume explores international and cross-disciplinary perspectives, carrying out a forensic examination of 'how and why' companies die in order to understand the lessons 'dead firms' may have to offer.
