This book examines the issue of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) in the context of technological development, and in particular the impact of M&As on the innovation process. In so doing, the book integrates two bodies of literature, on M&As, and on innovation studies, a nexus which the editors contend represents an important step in the advancement of our understanding of both with clear implications for competitive advantage and growth of firms. Drawing on perspectives from both management and economics, the book offers a cohesive blend of theory, methodology, and a wealth of empirical material.The synthesis of managerial and economic analysis of the effects of M&As on innovation will be of great interest to academics and students in management and economics, as well as high-level managers and policymakers.

Edited by Bruno Cassiman, Associate Professor of Management and Strategy, IESE Business School, University of Navarra, Spain and Massimo G. Colombo, Professor of Economics of Technical Change, Politecnico de Milano, Italy
