Abstract

The UK has always held a wide open door to foreign takeovers. In the UK takeover policy is laissez-faire and decisions about takeovers are believed to be for the shareholders alone. When the UK was one of the biggest beasts in global acquisitions the open-door philosophy suited it. However the tide has sharply reversed and since 2004 the inflow of acquisition capital to the UK has significantly exceeded the outflow.
