International M&As provide key benefits that are not funded in the other equity-based foreign market entry mode like the JVs or the Greenfield ventures. The M&As give the acquirers complete operational control and equity to function well. Secondly is protecting the company's IP as all the confidential information of the company needs to remain within the company without any leakage. The third is it gives the company's ability to coordinate globally and have a fast entry speed into the market without any additional new capacity. Furthermore, both JV and Greenfield ventures give the same advantage; however, they need the firms to add additional capacity as the entry mode is slower.
