| Abstract: | The importance of knowledge as the fundamental resource from the strategic viewpoint is widely recognized. Acquisitions are a means of complementing and renewing the knowledge base of the company. This study analyzes different variables of the implementation process (autonomy, retention, interaction, cultural similarity) in three acquisitions. The study observes that degree of autonomy granted to the acquired company is influenced by the nature of the knowledge to be transferred, whereas retention and the means of interaction are not. |
