Abstract: More than half of China’s overseas acquisition attempts have not been completed,and the chance of success is much lower than worldwide. This study investigates the reasons behind the low likelihood that an acquisition deal is completed,by analysing some China’s M&A cases in recent years. The study found that multi-level determinants influence the outcome of China’s overseas acquisitions. Based on the findings, we conclude that the distinctive political and economic environment; guidance and support from global experience; capabilities of the acquirers;and the situation of target companies all affect Chinese acquisition deals.
