RESUMEN

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el papel que juegan los activos estratégicos en la elección entre las adquisiciones y las empresas conjuntas como métodos de crecimiento empresarial. Los resultados de una muestra de 438 operaciones (359 adquisiciones y 79 empresas conjuntas) realizadas por empresas españolas en el periodo 2000–2004 han permitido confirmar que los factores que llevan a optar por las adquisiciones son la proporción de activos intangibles poseídos por la empresa, la experiencia acumulada procedente de las adquisiciones previas y la similitud entre los recursos; mientras que la utilización de empresas conjuntas depende de las capacidades generadas por las adquisiciones y las empresas conjuntas previas.

ABSTRACT

The goal of this paper is to analyse the influence of the strategic assets in the choice between acquisitions and joint ventures as growth methods for the firms. The results from a sample of 438 deals (359 acquisitions and 79 joint ventures) made by Spanish firms in period 2000–2004 have allowed to confirm that the proportion of intangible assets held by the firm, the accumulated experience coming from the previous acquisitions and the degree of similarity in resources are the factors that determine to choice the acquisitions; whereas the use of joint ventures depends on the capacities generated by the previous acquisitions and joint ventures.
