Abstract: | Since the 1996 Telecommunications Act, numerous mergers and alliances (M&A) have been consummated within the telecommunications industry. These M&A involve both large and small firms in a variety of different and similar industry segments. In this industry, replete with technological uncertainty, it is useful to evaluate the impact of these activities on the market valuation of the firms involved. This study uses event analysis to examine 44 M&A events involving 89 partners in the telecommunications industry. |
