mergers and acquisitions, technology, bibliometric review, content analysisResumen
The growth of research on business administration and management, the acceleration of technological change, and global processes of corporate consolidation have motivated this study on mergers and acquisitions in the technology industry. We perform bibliometric and content analysis of this topic using documents published in the Web of Science database. After refining the search based on the keywords selected and quality of the academic journals, we obtain 148 articles, from which we identify the main journals, countries, institutions, authors, and relevant articles to answer the research questions defined for this study. We also provide a keyword/cartographic analysis that identifies six main research streams. Finally, we summarize the main issues and questions for future research that emerge from the literature.
