Abstract: The aim of the contribution is to identify the implementation factors influencing the successfulness of cross-border mergers and acquisitions projects extracted on the basis of an analysis of the opinions of managers of 244 companies (international corporations) based in 45 countries of the European Economic Area, which were the subject of a cross-border merger or acquisition. Another objective is to verify the original methodology labeled as "M&A Project Implementation Factors – M&APIF". Factor analysis of the obtained data (Principal Component Analysis and Varimax Rotation methods were used) enabled extraction of three key implementation factors influencing the successfulness of M&A project implementation: Prerequisites for project implementation, Elimination of project implementation risks, Cooperation of partners within project implementation. The paper also presents the basic parameters of the M&APIF methodology, i.e. Eigenvalues, the percentage of explained variance, Cronbach's alpha of the extracted factors and inter-correlations of the extracted factors.
