Abstract

This paper adopts the case analysis method from the perspective of risk management to analyze the risk sources existing in overseas merger and acquisition (M&A) knowledge integration process, applies the identical discrepancy contrary model in the character-weighted set pair analysis to evaluate the risk factors of human resources, technology resources, relation resources, structure resources, corporate culture in knowledge integration, and explores the risk development tendency according to the model partial connection number. The results show that: the horizontal resources integration, business process and organization structure are the important factors to influence the risk of knowledge integration in all the risk sources. Based on theoretical analysis and empirical study, strategies for promoting enterprises’ overseas M&A are proposed, which provides reference for the enterprises to implement overseas M&A.
