Chen Zhang

Abstract


In recent years, overseas mergers and acquisitions have gradually become one of the important ways for Chinese enterprises to acquire innovative technology. This paper systematically reviews the relevant literature at home and abroad based on the role and influencing factors of overseas M & A on enterprise innovation performance. Studies have shown that there are both positive and negative effects on the impact of overseas mergers and acquisitions on enterprise innovation performance. In addition, the effect of overseas M & A on enterprise performance innovation is different between enterprises with different equity nature and host countries. On this basis, this paper discusses the future research direction of the relationship between overseas M & A and innovation.
