While the naive factorization assumption works well for many two-body nonleptonic B meson decay modes, the recent measurement ofB → D ( * )0 M 0 with M = π, ρ and ω shows large deviation from this assumption. We analyze the B → D ( * ) M decays in the perturbative QCD approach based on k T factorization theorem, in which both factorizable and nonfactorizable contributions can be calculated in the same framework. Our predictions for the Bauer-Stech-Wirbel parameters, |a 2 /a 1 | = 0.43± 0.04 and Arg(a 2 /a 1 ) ∼ −42 • and |a 2 /a 1 | = 0.47 ± 0.05 and Arg(a 2 /a 1 ) ∼ −41 • , are consistent with the observed B → Dπ and B → D * π branching ratios, respectively. It is found that the large magnitude |a 2 | and the large relative phase between a 2 and a 1 come from color-suppressed nonfactorizable amplitudes. Our predictions for theB 0 → D * 0 ρ 0 , D * 0 ω branching ratios can be confronted with future experimental data.
