Determinants of Successful Mergers and Acquisitions

Abstract

This paper focuses on the risk control of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and adopts a case analysis method to explore the relevant problems that may occur in the process of M&A. The goal is to find the key elements that need to be paid attention to within the progress and to put forward specific preventive measures and countermeasures for various elements. The aim is to provide a useful reference for other enterprises to implement M&A in the future. The paper is divided into three parts: the introduction, which outlines the background and significance of the study and determines the research content and methods; the second part, which segments the M&A process and identifies the key points within each stage; and the third part, which presents conclusions and recommendations on how to better leverage these key factors for better M&A outcomes. The success rate of M&A is not high, and this paper aims to help companies minimize the possibility of failure by focusing on risk control and key factors.
