Determinants and Dynamics of Technology-Related Acquisitions: The Intriguing Case of Software-Based High Technology Industries
نویسنده
چکیده
Innovation activities in high technology industries provide considerable challenges for technology and innovation management. In particular, the option to use acquisitions as a means for technology sourcing matters. The paper investigates the determinants and dynamics of this for software-based high technology industries. It analyses the association of acquirer characteristics with different measures of acquisition behaviour. The paper confirms a substitutive relationship between acquisitions and own research activities as well as between acquirer and target patenting. For a subset of acquisitions of the three largest acquirers in the industry it relates these findings in more detail to target characteristics. In particular, this reveals an important qualification of the usual effects of disruptive innovation.
