The literature on the innovation impact of technological acquisition has focused on the deal-specific properties (e.g., knowledge and cultural fit) between an acquirer and its target; the innovation capabilities of the two parties (i.e., acquirer and target); and the managerial capabilities of the acquirer. Although the literature has provided insights into this issue, it has been limited in explaining why technological acquisition often fails to deliver the expected innovation outcomes despite a high level of complementary fit between the two parties. The literature has also not provided an answer to how the knowledge of the two parties is synthesized in the post-acquisition phase.To address these problems, I investigate inventors' innovation behaviors in the postacquisition phase. Inventors, as repositories of technological knowledge and sources of innovation capability, play a vital role in knowledge synthesis processes by collaborating with other inventors. However, inventors' interests and concerns do not always align with their organizations' strategic goals (e.g., innovation synergy). Although previous studies have emphasized the integration of the workforce of the two parties for knowledge synthesis processes, their discussions have still focused on which of the target inventors remain and how acquirers retain human capital in the postacquisition phase. This study argues that the role of the human capital of the two parties in a knowledge synthesis process in the post-acquisition phase must be better understood. As a knowledge synthesis mechanism between the two parties in the postacquisition phase, I suggest postacquisition joint inventions in which the inventors of an acquirer and those of its target collaborate and synthesize their knowledge after the acquisition deal. The main research question of this dissertation is as follows: Which inventors (from the acquirer or the target) participate in postacquisition joint inventions, and under what conditions do they do so? The acquirer and target inventors have different stances and perceptions toward acquisition because of the asymmetric relationships between the two parties. I take different theoretical perspectives to investigate the participation behaviors of each side's inventors.This dissertation consists of three main chapters. In the first chapter, I review the existing research on the innovation aspects of technological acquisition and studies on employees in the acquisition context. In the second chapter, I focus on the innovation behaviors of acquirer inventors. After the acquisition, the target inventors, whose knowledge is similar to the knowledge of the acquirer inventors, flow into the acquirer. Depending on the knowledge niche, the acquirer inventors face different levels of competitive crowding from the corresponding target's inventors. I explore how increased competitive crowding influences their participation in postacquisition joint inventions. In the third chapter, I focus on the innovation behaviors of target inventors. I investigate how job security threat from external and internal factors influences the target inventors' participation in postacquisition joint inventions. The analysis results show that inventors who are confident in their positions and who are best able to synthesize their knowledge with the acquisition partner's inventors are least likely to participate in postacquisition joint inventions. This dissertation contributes to the literature on the acquisition, social networks, niche and crowding, human capital, and microfoundation of innovation.

520 $a La documentation existante relative a l'impact de l'innovation dans l'acquisition technologique se concentre sur les proprietes propres a la transaction (par ex. l'adequation des connaissances et de la culture) entre un acquereur et sa cible, les capacites d'innovation des deux parties (a savoir l'acquereur et la cible) et les competences en gestion de l'acquereur. Bien que cette documentation fournisse des eclairages sur le sujet, elle reste limitee dans son explication des raisons pour lesquelles dans bien des cas l'acquisition de la technologie ne permet pas de livrer les resultats d'innovation attendus, malgre un niveau de complementarite eleve entre les deux parties. La documentation n'offre pas non plus de reponse concernant la maniere dont se produit la synthese des connaissances des deux parties dans la phase post-acquisition.Pour aborder ces questions, la presente these explore les comportements d'innovation des inventeurs lors de la phase post-acquisition. Les inventeurs, en tant que depositaires des connaissances technologiques et des sources de la capacite d'innovation, jouent un role vital dans les processus de synthese des connaissances par leur collaboration avec les autres inventeurs. Toutefois, les interets et preoccupations des inventeurs ne concordent pas toujours avec les objectifs strategiques de leurs entreprises (par ex. la synergie dans l'innovation). Bien que des etudes precedentes aient mis l'accent sur l'integration de la main d'oeuvre des deux parties dans les processus de synthese des connaissances, les discussions se concentraient toujours sur le fait de savoir lesquels des inventeurs de la cible devraient etre retenus et la facon dont les acquereurs retenaient le capital humain dans la phase post-acquisition. Cette these soutient que le role du capital humain des deux parties d'un processus de synthese des connaissances dans la phase post-acquisition doit etre mieux compris. Pour ce qui est du mecanisme de synthese des connaissances entre les deux parties dans la phase post-acquisition, je suggere des inventions conjointes apres l'acquisition, pour lesquelles les inventeurs d'un acquereur et ceux de sa cible collaborent et synthetisent leurs connaissances apres la transaction d'acquisition. La question de recherche principale de cette these est la suivante : Quels inventeurs (de l'acquereur ou de la cible) participent aux inventions conjointes apres l'acquisition et sous quelles conditions le fontils ? Les inventeurs de l'acquereur et de la cible ont differentes positions et perceptions par rapport a l'acquisition, en raison des relations asymetriques entre les deux parties. J'adopte differentes perspectives theoriques pour examiner les comportements participatifs des inventeurs de chaque partie.Cette these comprend trois principaux chapitres. Dans le premier chapitre, je passe en revue les recherches existantes relatives aux aspects innovation de l'acquisition technologique ainsi que des etudes sur les employes dans le contexte de l'acquisition. Dans le deuxieme chapitre, je me concentre sur les comportements d'innovation des inventeurs de l'acquereur. Apres l'acquisition, les inventeurs de la cible, dont les connaissances sont similaires a celles des inventeurs de l'acquereur, rejoignent l'acquereur. En fonction de la niche de connaissances, les inventeurs de l'acquereur font face a differents niveaux d'augmentation de la concurrence interne (« crowding ») avec les inventeurs de la cible correspondante. J'explore comment cette augmentation de la concurrence influence leur participation aux inventions conjointes apres l'acquisition. Dans le troisieme chapitre, je me concentre sur les comportements d'innovation des inventeurs de la cible. J'examine comment les menaces a la securite professionnelle issues de facteurs externes et internes influencent la participation des inventeurs de la cible dans les inventions conjointes apres l'acquisition. Les resultats de l'analyse revelent que les inventeurs qui sont confiants dans leurs postes et qui sont davantage capables de synthetiser leurs connaissances avec les inventeurs du partenaire de l'acquisition sont moins susceptibles de participer aux inventions conjointes apres l'acquisition. Cette these contribue a alimenter la documentation relative aux acquisitions, aux reseaux sociaux, aux niches et au « crowding », au capital humain et a la micro-fondation de l'innovation.
