Recommendation
The worldwide corporate buzzword is “innovation.” Firms looking to drive their creative capacities can pursue organic avenues, or alternatively, consider mergers and acquisitions to spur productivity. But the M&A path to innovation may not be the panacea that business leaders anticipate. Economists Giulio Federico, Gregor Langus and Tommaso Valletti employ various models to determine the overall efficacy of corporate combinations on innovation. getAbstract suggests this technically rigorous report to economists, analysts and policy experts.
