dc.description.abstractBased on 92 acquisitions in the Norwegian high-technology industry, this study analyzes the degree to which these targets were integrated into the acquiring firm. By connecting post-acquisition integration theory with business cluster research, we suggest that relative firm size, firm relatedness, and target firm’s cluster affiliation affect the degree of integration of acquired targets. In addition, the findings indicate that there is a moderating effect of cluster affiliation on the size-integration relationship. We contribute with theoretical advancement, as well as with a new methodological approach and relevant managerial implications that serve as better support in post-acquisition integration decision making. Ordinal logistic regression was used to analyze the Norwegian sample over a period from 2006 to 2015 with a minimum deal value of 10 million Euro.
