Technology-motivated Acquisitions and the Real Option Portfolio of Non-tech Firms

We are interested in "access to technology" acquisitions of non-tech firms and propose a novel approach to identify such acquisitions, which we call technologymotivated acquisitions (TMA). Studying a large sample of European non-tech firms, we document an increasing importance of TMA deals and empirically examine the role of such deals in firms' real option portfolios.
