Predicting explicit and valuing tacit synergies of high-tech based transactions: Amazon.com's acquisition of Dubai-based Souq.com
Although the interdependence between the core competencies of the collaborating partners and synergy as an important consideration when companies decide to go for a merger is theoretically understood and evident, further empirical research is needed to integrate two concepts into a coherent empirical construct. The paper aims to develop an empirical framework useful for scholars and practitioners to incorporate real options theory into resource-based views (RBV) to measure collaborative synergies of M&As. Having done the empirical research on the case study of the Souq.com acquisition by Amazon.com as one of 'the biggest-ever technology M&A transactions in the Arabic world', the paper provides a conceptual construct of research that encompasses not only Amazon.com and Souq.com but can be useful to other companies pursuing strategic growth by M&As.
