Abstract

Although corporate acquisitions are on the rise, not much is known about the micro processes of knowledge and technology transfer after the deal is closed. The goal of this present research is to add to this knowledge by reviewing the literature while addressing two questions: 'what enables knowledge transfer in acquisitions' and 'what can organizations do to manage the knowledge transfer more successfully?'. The paper presents an organizational learning perspective on corporate acquisitions and discusses how organizations could learn from past and present acquisitions.
