Cross-Border Acquisitions of U.S. Technology Assets
研究了1990年代非美国公司收购美国技术资产的成功因素，聚焦硅谷案例，分析了收购后整合与治理的独特挑战。
During the 1990s, non-U.S. companies acquired nearly $250 billion worth of technology assets in the United States. Acquirers include such major firms as British Telecom, Cable & Wireless, Dassault, L M Ericsson, Nokia, Reed Elsevier, Siebe, and SGS-Thomson. This article identifies the factors involved in the successful acquisition and integration of technology-based companies in the U.S., and it examines these factors with a specific focus on California9s Silicon Valley. European (and by implication, other similar non-U.S.) firms face some unique challenges with their acquisitions and, in particular, with the integration and governance of the acquired firms.
