Abstract

The past two decades have seen a profound change in the global business structure, driven by an explosion in M&A activities in many high value-added industries in the world economy. This chapter examines the key features of the global merger wave as well as its impact on global industry concentration. It also introduces the two other key characteristics of the global business revolution at the end of the twentieth century: the practice of systems integration by the core firm and the cascade effect in global value chains as a result of it. They have profoundly changed the way in which production is organized in the modern capitalist system.
