Abstract :
There has been a remarkable increase in mergers and acquisitions in many industries worldwide. In 1999-2002 there were at least 20 spin-offs, acquisitions, or mergers specifically relating to the power semiconductor industry. This paper investigates whether mergers and acquisitions are still the best strategy for power semiconductor companies to gain market presence.
