Resumen

En este trabajo analizamos los determinantes de la exploración de conocimiento en el proceso de integración de las adquisiciones. Proponemos que las adquisiciones pueden crear valor mediante la exploración de conocimiento y analizamos cómo determinan su nivel las decisiones de centralización, formalización y socialización en la integración de las adquisiciones. A través de los datos de 45 adquisiciones realizadas en España entre 2000 y 2006 y mediante el uso de la técnica de Partial Least Squares, demostramos que los procesos de integración de las adquisiciones para explorar conocimiento requieren elevados niveles de socialización y autonomía entre las empresas adquirente y adquirida, y que la exploración de conocimiento es una importante fuente de creación de valor.
