And cultural fusion mechanism, including organizational sharing and individual communication of cultural fusion ,is the premise of cultural innovation. The cultural innovation is the purpose of cultural fusion. Dynamic mechanism ensures the operation of the cultural fusion and innovation. The thesis gives a detail analysis to cultural fusion and innovation as well as dynamic mechanism of cultural fusion.The thesis believes that employers' contact ratio, cultural approval rate and employer's cultural amnesia rate are influence by promoting effects, individual communication level of cultural fusion and organizational cultural sharing level when other parameters remain unchanged. These three parameters have an impact on cultural fusion degree. Also the evolution of values is influenced by the cultural fusion impetus and the discrepancy between the old values and new values. Then the cultural fusion effect can be advanced by improving promoting effects, individual communication level of cultural fusion and organizational cultural sharing level.At last, the thesis makes an empirical analysis on the cultural integration mechanism of corporate merger and acquisition.
