| Abstract: | Do investors perceive acquisitions of high-tech targets to have strong potential for value creation? Or, given the large degree of uncertainty associated with many high-tech companies, is the market skeptical of the potential benefits of high-tech acquisitions? The results show that acquirers of high-tech targets experience significantly positive abnormal returns, regardless of whether the merger is financed with cash or stock. |
