The influential factors for the performance of Chinese enterprises’ international takeovers

In recent years, Chinese enterprises’ overseas mergers and acquisitions have become increasingly active. The method of overseas mergers and acquisitions can be regarded as a low-cost and good-effect way for the growth of Chinese enterprises, except their own accumulations. However, compared with the firms in western countries, Chinese enterprises’ overseas mergers and acquisitions can be affected by three factors: the ownership of acquiring enterprise, the types of target industries and the previous experience. In addition, Chinese and foreign scholars do not have a consistent conclusion for the enterprises’ performance, which is after their overseas mergers and acquisitions. Therefore, the study of the influential factors for Chinese enterprises’ overseas acquisitions is useful to the practice. This paper firstly analyzes the theoretical background of influential factors for the performance of overseas mergers. Then, this paper tests the three hypotheses of the influential factors. At last, this paper puts forward some effective suggestions.
