Japanese Innovation Strategy and the Aquisition of UK Information Technology Firms 10.17863/CAM.16653 Minshall, Timothy Herbert Warren 0000000344099826 Garnsey, Elizabeth Oliver, Nick Whittaker, Hugh Corporate acquisitions can provide an effective mechanism for maintaining growth in conditions of technological uncertainty, but typically suffer very high failure rates. This thesis presents a resource-based framework for analysing corporate acquisitions in times of rapid technological change. The thesis discusses how such acquisitions can be used to access resources that are of immediate use, but also enhance the acquirer's ability to access resources in the future.
