Abstract

Mergers and acquisitions play an important role in business valuation, which will lead to the difference of business value selection. Therefore, this paper narrows the scope of business valuation to three specific methodological fields and conducts a literature review analysis of asset-based, income/earnings-based, and cash flow-based methods. Meanwhile, the application performance, applicability and limitations are evaluated as well. It was found that most of studies were theoretical and lacked empirical evidence. Although some studies provide empirical evidence, they lack generality and further demonstration of the subdivision valuation method. To a certain extent, this paper fills in the research gap of business valuation segmentation in the case of mergers and acquisitions, draws a conclusion that can eliminate regionalism and promotion, and also provides some follow-up research directions for those who need to make relevant decisions.
