Technology-focused acquisitions : performance and functionality as differentiators

Stein, Jan Paul, author, De Gruyter Oldenbourg (Firm), publisher

Overview

\"Technology-focused acquisitions are an important complement to the firm's internal product development efforts. There is considerable heterogeneity when comparing individual technology-focused acquisitions -- especially with respect to acquisition timing and deal value. To resolve some of this heterogeneity, the author introduces the novel distinction between performance- and functionality-focused acquisitions. He characterizes this distinction based on a theoretical analysis, a qualitative study, and turns to a sample of acquisitions in the field of artificial intelligence for the quantitative study ... This thesis is relevant for management scholars and managers alike: Scholars learn about the implications of the distinction between performance- and functionality-focused acquisitions on markets for technology. Managers gain insights into how this distinction may guide their strategic decision making.\"--Back cover.
