Chinese companies have actively expanded overseas. However, more and more companies, such as TCL, have found that technology sourcing cross-border M&A cost too much to threaten their survival, rather than achieving their goals. From reviewing previous literatures, we found that control, not the ownership, is the critical determinant. Control is the result of the bargaining power between the acquirer and the target company. Drawing on resources-based view, transaction cost theory and institutions theory, this paper reviews the influencing factors of bargaining power in the control and ownership, and proposes a model of control and ownership for Chinese enterprises technology sourcing cross-border M&A.

Based on the previous research on the integration of M & A culture, this paper discusses the case of Geely Group's acquisition of the Swedish luxury car brand Volvo. We study the integrating process to make the enterprise manager realize the importance of cultural integration and provide them the reference about cross-border merger and acquisition to improve the success rate of M&A.
