Abstract: Abstract Irrespective of the public attention received by financial transactions, hostile takeovers and. mega-mergers, most acquisition activity is essentially strategic, and involves the pursuit of corporate renewal. Such renewal can be derived from augmenting or renewing the capabilities that underlie a firm’s competitive position in an existing business domain (domain strengthening); by leveraging the firm’s existing capabilities into new business domains (domain extension), or by entering new business domains which bring into the firm texposure new capabilities (domain exploration).
