Economic Value as a Determinant of Success and Failure of M&A in the Technology Industry

Abstract

The study comprehensively analyzes the impact of mergers and acquisitions in the technology industry across various domains. It utilizes diverse and global organization datasets to cover domestic and cross-border M&A. The research focuses on estimating the economic value to predict the success and failure of an M&A. The determinants identified in the study demonstrate a positive correlation between the economic value and the success or failure of organizations post-M&A. This model, once validated, could serve as a valuable tool for decision-making in M&A transactions within the technology sector, potentially enhancing the success rate of such transactions.
