    Purpose: This research is primarily centred on examining the impact of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) on the business performance of the banking organisations in Hong Kong along with assessing the need for M&A strategies for businesses. In this relation, the study evaluates the current scenario regarding the adoption of M&A strategies in the banking sector of Hong Kong for analysing the impact of M&A strategies on the banking sector's performance. Design/methodology/approach: Mixed methods have been utilised for completing the study that indicates the inclusion of qualitative information, as well as quantitative data. Pragmatism philosophy is used in combination with exploratory design and deductive approach. The survey is carried out with the 50 Senior Employees of banking organisations of Hong Kong, and a semi-structured interview is conducted with six top-level management banking professionals of Hong Kong. Additionally, the pertinent case study of the acquisition of Wing Hang Bank Limited via Overseas Chinese Banking Corporation Limited is also integrated into the study.
