Abstract: Abstract Investigation of mergers and acquisitions in ICT sector becomes more and more important with the development of the information economy. Nowadays a vast number of new technologies are created in the information sector. The start-up creation and its profitable sale encourage more and more entrepreneurs to develop new information technologies. In such circumstances the giant companies are trying to get the best technology as early and as cheap as possible. These processes have particular importance for the Eastern European region (especially for Ukraine), where the creation and dissemination of new technologies go relatively slow. The paper presents the methodology of mergers and acquisitions parameters analysis. It includes (1) forming the list of factors that affect the project perspectives, (2) finding the patterns of deals using visualization methodology, (3) identifying the clusters of deals using Kohonen maps, and (4) predicting project perspectives using fuzzy logic. The methodology could help Ukrainian entrepreneurs to find its own niche in the ICT market and contribute to the creation and dissemination of new technologies in developing countries.
