Abstract

A large number of Chinese enterprises have grown up and become increasingly competitive. Chinese firms have ventured abroad to search for new sources of growth. Overseas mergers and acquisitions of Chinese companies has been developed rapidly through extensive opening policy and active support system by government. The main purpose of this study is to identify the factors that affect the outcomes of overseas mergers and acquisitions made by Chinese firms in recent years, particularly, financial performance of the acquiring firms. This study aims to analyze systematically financial performance and its determinants of Chinese overseas M&A in recent years. This study chooses a sample of 167 overseas mergers and acquisitions in the manufacturing industry in China and the relevant data were collected during the period 2006 to 2012. The data were analyzed by using a multiple regression analysis to identify determinants of corporate performance. We showed that cultural distance, past performance, state ownership, and interaction between cultural distance and past performance. Findings of this study can provide useful guidance to outward Chinese M&A in the future.

본 연구는 중국의 해외 인수 합병 현황과 영향 요인에 대한 관련 이론과 기존의 연구를 살펴본 뒤 중국기업의 해외 인수 합병의 성과에 미치는 영향을 실증분석 하였다. 분석의 결과 과거성과, 인수지분율, 국유지분율, 문화적 차이는 성과에 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 문화적 차이가 클수록 과거성과의 인수합병의 성과에 미치는 영향이 크게 나타나는 중재효과가 있음을 보이고 있다. 그러나 조직 연령, 수출비중, 잉여현금흐름은 유의한 영향을 미치지 않고 있다.
