With the rapid growth of China economy and the growing of China's companies, more and more enterprises begin to go out into the world market. Cross-border merger and acquisition as a form of FDI has exceeded green field investment and became the major pattern of FDI.In this paper, after reviewing the theoretical achievements of world and China's M&A, based on Porter's value chain theory and Dunning's eclectic theory of international production, combined with the motivations of China enterprises' M&A, it puts forward the China enterprises' M&A motivation model for the determinants of China's M&A, and it concludes the determinants of different motivations. Then it introduces the overview of world and China's M&A. Finally, it conducts an empirical test.The results show that resource endowment and industrial safety are the determinants of resource-oriented M&A; resource endowment and labor are the determinants of cost-oriented M&A; market, enterprise capabilities and corporate are the determinants of market-oriented M&A; core assets, control and local conditions are the determinants of technology-oriented M&A. Political and legal factors are common determinants to all types of M&A. Then it gives some suggestions for all types of China enterprises' M&A from the perspective of the determinants and points out the direction for future research. |
