By oversea M&A Chinese enterprises hadn't gotten significant overall performance change basing on the statistics test. Detailedly speaking, the overall performance reached the highest point in the year of completing M&A, but then declined dramatically in the rest of the time window.2. Group results by parity. State-owned enterprises to improve the performance of overseas mergers and acquisitions were not significant but non-state enterprises. Because of the institutional transformation of state enterprises has not been completed, enterprise property right system reform lags behind limited the size of the M&A. Private enterprises in the fierce market competition to grow up under the constitution and other causes improved non-state enterprises in the post-merger performance significantly.Overseas M&A of listed companies on manufacturing performance improvement is not significant. While long-term perspective, to obtain technical resources, overseas mergers and acquisitions of listed companies on the non-manufacturing performance improved significantly3. Overseas M&A on financial performance of companies in the 29 samples of studies have shown that the internal factors--accounts receivable turnover ratio has improved enterprises financial performance.
