Features: In recent years, with the acceleration of internationalization and globalization, China has witnessed a new wave of mergers and acquisitions. These include business integration-driven mergers led by government administrative forces, as well as market-driven corporate mergers, with some significant cross-border M&A cases among them. Although the M&A wave has intensified and the theories and methods of M&A have been continuously refined, at its core, M&A is merely a means. The ultimate goal of enterprises is to acquire the resources and capabilities needed for development through M&A integration, to build and strengthen core competencies, and to enhance competitiveness. This book systematically reviews the key stages of the M&A process, introducing relevant theories, principles, and methods of M&A integration, as well as M&A strategy evaluation, execution processes, and post-M&A integration. Regarding post-M&A integration, the authors take China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) as an example, analyzing its corporate situation and specific M&A events to identify the core elements of CNOOC's integration and its post-M&A integration strategy. Through in-depth case analysis, the book explains processes such as corporate culture integration, human resource integration, organizational integration, management process and system integration, asset-liability integration, and market and channel integration. This helps readers better understand and absorb relevant theories and methods, and more effectively apply these classic theories and methods in practice. Based on the operational practices of numerous consultants at China Financial Accounting and Consulting Co., Ltd. over more than a decade of leading and participating in M&A projects, this book provides effective M&A integration methods to enhance synergy, offering valuable insights for professionals in the M&A field and corporate management.
