Hello,
"The significance of this study is to overcome the limitation of the existing researches, stressing the present conditions and motives of the M&A of Chinese companies, and analyze what strategy the M&A of Chinese companies, aiming at foreign companies, is specifically accomplished with."
This sentence can be divided into two.
#1 "The significance of this study is to overcome the limitation of the existing researches, while the study is stressing the present conditions and motives of the M&A of Chinese companies.
#2 And the significance of this study is to analyze what strategy the M&A of Chinese companies, while the study is aiming at foreign companies, is specifically accomplished with.
divided into two.
#1. The subject of stressing is the study.
Then, shouldn't it be corrected as follows?
"The significance of this study is to overcome the limitation of the existing researches, the study stressing the present conditions and motives of the M&A of Chinese companies"
Otherwise, the subject will be significance of this study, right?
I want to know the subject or possible subjects of #2. the study or strategy or both?
