Although it is well established that acquisition-based dynamic capabilities have important consequences for merger and acquisition (M&A) processes, direct evidence on how real option applications can measure a dynamic capability-based synergy in open innovation-type M&A deals has been scarce....

Acquisition-based dynamic capabilities have become well established as a new imperative for organizing mergers and acquisitions (M&A) processes. However, understanding the full benefits and possible limits of real options applications to measure a dynamic capability-based synergy in M&A deals...

This paper aims to extend the real options theory valuing strategic collaborative synergies by advanced real options with changing volatility and contributes to the international business literature on MNEs’ sequential acquisitions of international ventures. The proposition is that...

Although the interdependence between the core competencies of the collaborating partners and synergy as an important consideration when companies decide to go for a merger is theoretically understood and evident, further empirical research is needed to integrate two concepts into a coherent...
