Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally, the third essay looks at the role of knowledge breadth in post-acquisition performance. Building on the knowledge-based view we test the hypothesis that the focal firm's knowledge breadth has an inverse-U shaped relationship with post-acquisition performance. We also test how the firm's industry uncertainty and the nation's cultural distance influence this relationship. We do these tests on both market measures and internal growth measures of performance. Using 1,209 acquisitions with targets from 40 different nations we find differing results between the external and internal market growth measures and significant cross-level interactions.
