Research presented concerns the effect of acquisitions in the chemicals industry on the innovation performance of the acquiring businesses, focusing both on technological and non-technological acquisitions. Findings suggest that the size of the transferred knowledge base increases innovation in technological acquisitions, while non-technological innovations do not significantly impact the subsequent output of innovation.

Managerial foresight and attempted rent appropriation: Insider trading on knowledge of imminent breakthroughs
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on insider trading to argue and subsequently demonstrate that when managers have foreknowledge about strategic assets they may try to use it for personal gain by engaging in insider trading. The managerial foresight in the context of breakthrough patents, those with a high 'citation impact', an indication that a firm may have developed strategic assets, is explored.
