Alfred Chandler, in Scale and Scope: The Dynamics of Industrial Capitalism (1990), suggests that the acquisition of targets is an alternative to direct investment in research and development (R&D). Chandler suggests that the failure of accounting to recognize investment in R&D as an asset may have made R&D less attractive. This study focuses on the relationship between investment in R&D and capital expenditures and a set of partitions based on Chandler's three technology types ("hightech," "stable-tech," and "low-tech") and three possible merger activity classes (acquirer next year, target next year, and neither acquirer nor target next year). Chi-square contingency tables are used to test the independence of merger class and technology type, a frequency test. Regression is used to test the relationship between R&D and sales and between capital expenditures and sales, with the sample partitioned by technology type and by merger class in a 3-by-3 research design. The sample is 23,146 firm years from 1974-1988 for 2,659 firms categorized into industry groups based on Chandler's criteria. The financial data are from COMPUSTAT data files. The frequency of being an acquirer is the same for high-tech and stable-tech firms (11.2 versus 11.5 percent of firm years) and higher for low-tech firms (13.9 percent of firm years). High-tech firms that are acquirers next year have 79% lower investment in R&D (.044 of sales versus .056 of sales) and 77% lower investment in capital expenditures (.071 of sales versus .092 of sales) than "high-tech" firms that are neither acquirers nor targets next year ("baseline" firms) as measured by the estimated slope coefficient in regression. "Stable-tech" acquirers are similar to "stable-tech" baseline firms in R&D investment (.016 of sales versus .016 of sales) and in capital expenditures investment (.072 of sales versus .080 of sales). "High-tech" targets have higher R&D investment (0.062 of sales versus 0.056 of sales) and lower capital expenditures (0.054 of sales versus 0.092 of sales) than "high-tech" baseline firms.

Syfte: Denna studie syftar till att kartlägga i vilken utsträckning företag på en svensk marknad arbetar med CSR och även att identifiera ett eventuellt samband mellan hållbarhetsarbetets utsträckning och lönsamhet i form av EPS och DuPont. Dessa lönsamhetsmått representerar dels ett investeringsperspektiv, dels ett internt företagsperspektiv. Metod: En kvantitativ studie har gjorts på Stockholmsbörsens Large Cap med en indelning av företagen på en hållbarhetsskala. Datan har analyseratstillsammans med lönsamhetsmåtten EPS och DuPont genomkorstabulering samt en statistisk analys. Slutsats: Denna studie finner att det finns ett engagemang för CSR inom LargeCap och det finns ett negativt samband mellan CSR-arbete och EPS.Studien finner inget samband mellan CSR-arbete och DuPont. Det finns en obalans i prioriteringen av TBL där det ekonomiska perspektivet är det främsta.

Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) är så kallade skalbolag som skapas och börsnoteras i syfte att förvärva ett onoterat bolag som tar över platsen på börsen. SPAC-bolagets ledning anses vara dess enda tillgång och således är deras tidigare erfarenhet en vital framgångsfaktor. Denna studie undersöker huruvida operativ erfarenhet i ledningen har någon påverkan på det förvärvade bolagets operationella prestationer. Som mått på detta studeras den ettåriga och tvååriga utvecklingen på de tre nyckeltalen räntabilitet på totalt kapital, kapitalomsättningshastighet samt vinstmarginal. Erfarenhetens påverkan testas med hjälp av ett t-test av två oberoende grupper samt ett Mann-Whitney U-test. Studiens resultat indikerar att SPAC-bolag med operativ erfarenhet ser en mer gynnsam utveckling än de som saknar denna erfarenhet. Majoriteten av studiens resultat ser dock en avsaknad av statistisk signifikans vilket omöjliggör några generella slutsatser. Enda undantaget är den tvååriga utvecklingen på kapitalomsättningshastighet som på 10% signifikansnivå bekräftar en positiv påverkan av operativ erfarenhet.
