This research attempts to investigate challenges of Japanese firms when overtaking foreign firms. For Japanese firms it became recently popular to overtake foreign firms in cross border attempts. However, often Japanese firms cannot fulfill the strategic results they promised (at the time of the takeover). Instead of giving Japanese firms leverage in foreign markets through their acquisitions, they face serious problems. Japanese firms therefore sell back foreign investments often to prices far under what they paid at the acquisitions.
