The structure of global cross-border mergers and acquisitions network of digital cultural enterprises and its temporal and spatial evolution
The cross-border mergers and acquisitions(M&A)of digital cultural enterprises have formed a"reticular space"between countries(regions)regarding advanced production fac-tors such as capital,technology,and knowledge,and have an important impact on reshaping the economic geographic configuration of the world.Based on this,this paper used complex net-work methods and GIS spatial technology to explore the structure of global cross-border M&A network of digital cultural enterprises and its evolution law.The results show that:① The cross-border M&A network of digital cultural enterprises is gradually evolving from a"dual-core"pat-tern dominated by North America and Western Europe to a"three-pole"pattern dominated by North America,Western Europe,and Asia-Pacific;② The polarization caused by economic glo-balization has induced the phenomenon of"rich club"in the cross-border M&A network of digi-tal cultural enterprises,and the centralization of the cross-border M&A network of global digital cultural enterprises has been deepening;③ The refinement of the division of global labor system of digital cultural enterprises and the deepening of regional economic grouping and integration have enhanced the M&A preference and contact level between neighboring countries(regions);④ The cross-border M&A network of digital cultural enterprises is characterized by a"core-pe-riphery"structure.Among them,North America and Western Europe always occupy the core of the network;while Africa,Latin America,and Central Asia and West Asia are located at the edge of the network and are in a state of being"harvested".
