Abstract

With the rapid development of modern enterprises in Internet, more and more enterprises begun to buy other smaller businesses to help the development of their industries. Such action can bring benefit to these enterprises in some way. In this paper, we study the history of Alibaba and analyze Alibaba’s financial affairs, such as current assets ratio, net assets, and debt ratio waiting, by listing the advantages and disadvantages of those mergers and give some opinions or suggestions to help to improve the performance of Alibaba. For instance, one of the advantages of Alibaba’s Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) is that the payback after the high risks is huge, and one of the disadvantages is Alibaba has to pay more money and attention to their new businesses. The company gross profit margin of Alibaba company has decreased throughout the interest. This trend is also caused by the merger strategy in some way. In the end, we hope our study might benefit the enterprise and help the enterprise to develop better and better.
