In this paper, the influence of entrepreneurs' political connection on the M&A driving factors and M&A efficiency of the enterprises with different property rights are analyzed using 357 mergers and acquisitions of China' s 189 listed companies in 2005-2011 as samples based on the distinction between political connection and the nature of enterprise property rights. The results show that the political connection plays a very significant positive influence on the M&A performances of the central state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, but exerts a very significant negative influence on the local state-owned enterprises; the intensity of entrepreneurs' political connection also plays a certain influence on enterprise merger and acquisition, and the central political connection and the local political connection are significantly different in the influence on the enterprise M&A performance.展开更多
