隨著整體經濟環境的變遷、資訊科技的發達以及世界各國積極推動自由化與國際化的趨勢下，邁向全球化發展成為企業的目標，而併購活動是達成此目標與提升競爭力的媒介。
企業為了提升競爭力，透過併購的方式整合產業上、下游的資源，達到業務擴展的目標，以此取得策略性資源，增加價值網絡，提升企業獲利能力。
企業併購往往有許多策略性目標與擴展營運的考量，本研究以國際貨運承攬業為案例，對相關產業經由併購方式進行整合作業，以加強運籌專案的多元化、增加服務據點，並希望以此運用系統支援之整合綜效強化服務與資訊之即時性，進而協助企業登上全球化的國際運輸舞台，成為亞洲最有競爭優勢之物流企業體。

As the overall economic environments change, information technologies develop, and the countries of the world aggressively promote trade liberalization and globalization, the goal of moving toward globalization is widely shared by corporates. M&A (merges and acquisitions) becomes one of major measurements to reach this goal as well as to upgrade competence.
In order to enhance capacity, corporates often integrate resources from both upstream and downstream through M&A. It not only meets with mission of business expansion, but also increases value chains by gaining strategic resources. Therefore corporate profitability is further advanced.
There are always many strategic goals and concerns regarding operation expansion when engaging on corporate M&A. In this research, international freight forwarder industry is adopted as case study. Through M&A, relevant industries could conduct information integration processing, generate diversity of logistic projects, and increase service locations. Corporates often hope to apply such integration synergies from system support to strengthen immediacy in terms of services and information, to further promote corporate reputation, and to help corporate step onto international freight forwarder market while emerging as one of those logistic corporates with best competitive advantages in Asia.
