| Abstract: | The article investigates the "M&A as R&D" type of acquisition addressing the question whether acquisition experience and target familiarity influence the post-acquisition integration success in terms of innovation. The influence of general acquisition experience of the acquirer, pre-acquisition alliance experience with the target, and sector familiarity of the target on the post-acquisition patent rate of the acquirer are measured. The results of the event history analysis of the complete U.S. biotech population for 1973-2000 show that general acquisition experience and target familiarity increase the post-acquisition patenting speed. |
