Cross-border acquisitions are primarily made to:

The firm’s core ideology motivates the firm’s employees through the company’s heritage

A simple structure is an organizational form in which the owner-manager makes all major decisions directly and monitors all activities, while the staff serves as an extension of the manager’s supervisory authority
