Abstract
This thesis investigates whether there is a difference in the divestment rates of cross-border and

domestic acquisitions of Norwegian subsidiaries acquired in 2004. The sample consisted of 101

acquisitions traced over 10 years as well as company data collected in 2004, 2007, 2010 and 2014.

We used chi square (χ2) testing, t-test hypothesis testing and Cox survival analysis as methods of

analyzing our data. No difference in the divestment rates between the two groups was found.

Moreover, we found size of the parent and host country experience to be factors that could

moderate the difference between the two groups measured, while integration of the target into the

parent seemed to have a positive influence on subsidiary survival.
