Abstract
This study adopted a quantitative research approach using 388 publicly traded US-based ICT firms to examine the impact of acquisition pace and acquisition experience on post-acquisition performance. It aimed to determine in what way acquisition pace enhances or impairs performance, and how prior experience with digital-technology driven acquisitions moderates these effects. Results show that a higher acquisition pace reduces post-acquisition performance, with accumulated experience of previous digital technology acquisitions reducing its negative effects. The findings of this study deepen our understanding of the temporal dynamics at play in acquisition strategies, providing insights for strategies and decision makers within the ICT sector, and the current business landscape firmly embedded in the digital economy as a whole.
