Abstract

Research has yet to explain how firms with acquisition experience can improve their success with acquisitions. With a multi-national sample, we study how acquisition experience can lead to integration capabilities that impact acquisition outcomes. We argue that different types of knowledge (tacit or explicit) and organizational designs (more centralized vs. less centralized) influence the development of integration capabilities. We demonstrate that tacit and explicit knowledge provide multiple paths to acquisition success for acquiring firms, and this can explain conflicting findings in existing research. More specifically, less centralized organizational designs lower the effectiveness of tacit knowledge in developing an integration capability, but centralization is effective for explicit knowledge. Additional implications for management research and practice are provided.

采购整合能力和组织设计

目前的研究尚未解释具有收购经验的公司如何提高收购的成功率。我们以多国企业为样本，研究了并购经验如何产生影响并购结果的整合能力。我们认为，不同类型的知识（隐性知识或显性知识）和组织设计（集中化程度较高与较低的集中化程度）会影响整合能力的发展。我们证明，隐性知识和显性知识为收购企业提供了通往收购成功的多种途径，这可以解释现有研究中相互矛盾的结论。更具体地说，集中化程度较低的组织设计降低了隐性知识在发展整合能力方面的有效性，但集中化对显性知识却很有效。本文还提供了对管理研究和实践的其他启示。
