Abstract: Abstract The acquisition means that one company purchases all or part of the assets or property rights of another company, thereby influencing and controlling the acquired company. The acquisition can enhance the competitive advantage of the enterprise and realize the behavior of the enterprise's business goals. Acquisitions facilitate economies of scale and increase corporate share. In addition, there are advantages such as improving enterprise productivity and reducing enterprise production costs. This paper takes the two acquisitions from 2010 to 2014 as analysis to study the reasons for the different acquisition consequences. Through data analysis of the two companies’ operating conditions, financial statistics, comparative observation, and other methods, I found the negative and positive effects of things. These factors include cash flow, payment methods, size of the acquisition target, and company goodwill. This study identifies the factors that influence the outcome of the acquisition and summarizes the analysis of the acquisition and the judgment of whether to proceed with the acquisition.
