Between outbound merger and inbound merger, which one appears more beneficial to Corporate India ?

'Outbound Merger' is one where an Indian company has merged with a foreign company.

Inbound merger scores over outbound merger for the reasons of: Inflow of foreign direct investment. Technology transfer. Widening the national market to international level. Improved operational standards. Improving human relations at a global level. Elevation of prestige globally. Therefore, Inbound Merger appears more beneficial to Corporate India.
