Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) have been playing a very significant role in the capital market. Many companies regard mergers and acquisitions as an important way for their business expansion and transformation. This paper begins with a review of literature on firm’s motivations of and outcomes in M&A, and followed by a critical examination of three case studies of actual M&A transactions based on the insights provided from the literature review. For each case study, a firm’s motivations and related managerial initiatives for M&A activities were examined, followed by an assessment of the firm’s post M&A performance results. This allows the study to discerns the insights of why and how a firm proceed in its M&A transactions from its strategic intent to its post M&A managerial actions. Collectively, the results show that the key drivers for a firm’s M&A successes rest on a firm’s abilities to manage the M&A activities consistent with its strategic intent (e.g., creating synergies or transformation through diversification) and followed by its post M&A integration efforts in achieving its strategic intent.

Description在日趋复杂动态的环境中,如何提高企业的绩效不仅是企业家最感兴趣的事情,也是众多学者进行企业管理方面研究的落脚点。从目前战略执行力的研究现状来看,一些学者对战略执行力的性质和构成进行了研究,并取得了一定的成果。但这些研究多为描述性分析,实证研究较少,且较为分散,尚未形成较为完整的分析框架。对于战略执行力、员工生产力与企业绩效关系的研究则更少。因此,本研究将通过对现有文献的分析和梳理,研究战略执行的本质及其构成并进一步研究战略执行力与企业绩效的关系及其作用机理。
