Abstract:This paper sorts out the existing literatures which are related to serial acquisitions by bibliometric analysis, and defining the concept and connotation of serial acquisitions. Given that concept of serial acquisitions is continuous in time, repetitive in behavior and dynamic in impact, this study proposes to summarize the research results of the antecedents and consequences of serial acquisitions and its internal mechanism based on a time process perspective. This study mainly presents four kinds of time attributions of serial acquisitions, including frequency, rhythm, experience and sequence patterns of serial acquisitions. The paper first clarifies the existing research results from the aspects of decision-making influencing factors, influencing factors of mergers and acquisitions effect and its mechanism, then presents a logical relationship diagram of the current research status. Finally, the deficiency of existing research literatures and the future research direction are pointed out.
