The South China Morning Post has written an interesting analysis of HNA Group, the very acquisitive Chinese conglomerate. Although the article focuses on the problems with its investment in a Spanish hotel group, HNA has a strong aviation arm, with ownership in numerous Chinese airlines, including Grand China, Hainan, Tianjin, Yangtze River Express, my Cargo and Ghana AWA Airlines. It has recently decided to buy a stake in Virgin Australia, is eyeing Avianca and bought 50% of Servair. Its growth appears to be unstoppable – but, as this article suggests, it may be going too fast for its own good, which has contributed to its being stripped of board representation at the Spanish hotel group. As a professor puts it: “Management control will increasingly be a key challenge for Chinese firms’ acquisitions.”
