????另外，還存在這樣的風險：某一項收購可能與公司其他業(yè)務無法很好地融合，需要阿里巴巴擁有適當?shù)慕?jīng)驗與資源將此業(yè)務單獨運營，實現(xiàn)盈利。財捷集團（Intuit）就是個例子，這家稅務軟件公司的業(yè)務看起來與阿里巴巴的核心平臺并不匹配，但據(jù)說它也是阿里巴巴看中的幾家公司之一。

????像谷歌和Facebook這樣的公司表現(xiàn)非常出色，但很難講這其中有多少是得益于核心業(yè)務的有機成長，有多少是源于收購技術產(chǎn)生的協(xié)同效應。科技大型企業(yè)集團模式仍在發(fā)展初期階段，迫切等待阿里巴巴IPO的投資者必須謹記這一點。

????這家中國巨頭可能是電子商務領域非常值得投資的企業(yè)，但如果它實施收購跨領域科技公司的計劃，它將變成一家完全不同類型的公司，結果很難預料。這樣的不確定性包含風險與機遇，但無論結果如何，都應該在開盤鐘敲響之時計入公司股價。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

????There is also the risk that a particular acquisition may not integrate well with the rest of the company and would then require Alibaba to have the right expertise and resources to run profitably as a standalone line of business. A good example of this might be Intuit INTU 0.19% , a maker of tax software, whose business does not automatically seem to fit Alibaba’s core platform but which is one of the companies also rumored to be in Alibaba’s sights.

????Companies like Google and Facebook have performed extremely well but it is hard to tell how much of that success is attributable to organic growth in their core businesses and how much stems from the synergies realized through acquired technologies. The technology conglomerate model is still in its early days and investors waiting eagerly for Alibaba’s IPO should keep that in mind.

????The Chinese giant may well be a great investment in the e-commerce space, but if it does carry through on its plans to acquire several companies across the technology spectrum, it may morph into a different type of company altogether, and the results of that are difficult to predict. Such uncertainty contains both risk and promise, but whatever the outcome, it should certainly be priced into the stock when the opening bell rings.
