Asia: Facts & Fiction |
| There is a lot of noise in the media these days about India and China. As expected, the hype is exaggerated. But for companies in Australia, Europe, and America, there is a real cause for concern. |
Asian Acquisitions |
| To get a sense of what is happening, consider just the foreign acquisitions by Chinese and Indian companies. |
- China is ranked #2 in acquiring UK companies
- That’s a $22 billion expenditure by Chinese companies
- Acquisitions: Oil & Gas, Mining, Media, and Automotive
|
Diverting Production to China |
| When state-owned enterprises such as CNOOC (China’s largest oil & gas production company) take over a foreign oil company: |
- The purpose is to divert production to China
- This reduces the available supply to the rest of the world
- Your cost for these commodities goes up
- Along with the corresponding supply chain costs

Indian Industrial Giants Seeking
New Acquisitions |
| Most major industrial giants in India are looking out for acquisitions in Europe and North America as the economic slowdown continues to make these companies cheaper. |
Competitors with 25-65%
Lower Operating Costs |
| When acquisitions are executed, Asian companies get two significant benefits. |
| First, by using Asian resources, they can reduce their costs anywhere from 25% to 65% depending on the operational areas targeted. |
New! Competitive Products
Produced
at a Lower Cost |
| Second, they gain direct access to European and American markets. |
- They get an inside view into how these markets work
- Who the competitors are, and what their customers need
- New products and services can be developed or acquired
at a fraction of the cost in Asia.
- European and American products can also be offered
to their existing Asian client base
- Giving the acquired company a more stable customer base
|
Access to Abundant Funding and Operational Excellence |
| If you compete with these companies, you are dealing with a group that has: |
- Succeeded in the most competitive markets already
- Has the backing of abundant funds in all currencies
- Direct access to operational excellence through world-class facilities
- Have operating costs dramatically lower than yours
|
Stronger US Footing In Global Economy |
| If you look outside the world of acquisitions, you see more and more sophisticated outsourcing, global collaborations, and specific joint ventures designed to give local businesses (in Australia, Europe, and America) a stronger footing in the rapidly-changing global economy. |
