This paper investigates the impact of an acquirer’s experience on the acquisition of private firms (i.e., private target acquisition) in high-technology industries by analyzing a dataset of NASDAQ-listed firms operating in information technology (IT) industries. Specifically, this paper examines whether two types of experience (i.e., early venture capital (VC)-backed experience and prior mergers and acquisitions (M&A) experience) matter to the acquisition. We find that both types of experience have positive effects on private target acquisition, while only prior M&A experience positively influences public target acquisition, implying that early VC-backed experience is effective in mitigating information asymmetry related to private target acquisition and exploring opportunities for value creation. We also find that an acquirer’s growth performance and absorptive capacity prior to the acquisition enhance the positive effects of the experiences on private target acquisition.

This chapter examines the impact of technological change on global value chains (GVCs) and what initiatives and instruments governments in advanced economies can deploy to support firms and people during the transition. Drawing on an emerging debate on de-globalization, we discuss how global production is slowly shifting from being organized in GVCs to continental platforms with shorter and geographically closer relationships as firms seek to co-locate manufacturing and innovation activities. This offers regions and places the opportunity to upgrade and transform their economies and thereby to anchor high-technology industries, leveraging industrial legacy with frontier technologies. We will discuss the implications for a transformative place-based industrial policy that aims to connect embedded industries to new technologies; to repopulate embedded industries with new firms and start-ups, and to use regulation and procurement to create new markets and allow exploration.

Corporate Innovativeness

This study aims to elucidate the relationship between Research and Development (R&D) and standardization of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) services in high technology industries of Japan. The study focuses on Intellectual Property (IP) standardization activities as a key factor in corporate innovativeness. The author examines the magnitude of the effects of R&D and standardization on patent applications in the Japanese electric machinery industry, which provide ICT services and includes the electric appliance manufacturers. The number of patent applications is known to have a positive impact on corporate innovativeness and can be used as a proxy for determining this magnitude of the impact. Pearson correlation coefficient between the number of persons engaged in IP standardization activities and the number of patent applications is found to be positive, but smaller in comparison with the number of persons engaged in R&D activities. However, the impact of standardization is larger than what is generally anticipated. These findings might assist corporate managers in decision making pertaining to allocating human resources.

Innovation Policies

Twenty two interviews were conducted with top management in these organizations. The interviews were made by telephone addressing specific strategies in three domains: creative management, creative people management, and creativity management. Results indicate that high technology organizations, dependent upon financial support, do not seem to concentrate on corporate innovation, and do not have alternatives to budget reductions made in R&D, due to the present financial crisis, in order to innovate. The remaining companies provided several suggestions as to the way corporate innovation systems can be built and sustained within the framework of the future European innovation policies, devoted to workforce development, the service sector and the SMEs.
