This article reviews and comments on the literature related to the completion of overseas mergers and acquisitions (M&A). It first clarifies the consequences of failing to complete cross-border M&A transactions, then sorts out the factors affecting the completion of cross-border M&A transactions from four levels: country level, industry level, firm level and transaction level. Then, it finally puts forward the research outlook from three aspects: finding new influencing factors, exploring their influencing mechanisms and paying attention to the new changes in the international situation.
