Abstract: | Human capital often cannot be acquired in efficient labor markets due to poor information or firm-specific skills that develop over time. Since such knowledge may be critical to firms building a strategic capability, it is not surprising that many acquisitions occur in human capital-intensive industries. Impasse is more likely for targets in human capital-intensive industries. This study explores whether a shared expertise mitigates these hazards. |
