Overview: Die Arbeit analysiert theoretisch und empirisch die Entstehung von Synergieeffekten bei Unter­ nehmensakquisitionen. Die bisher existierenden Untersuchungen beschränken sich auf die Messung eines ,Akquisitionserfolges" und die Abhängigkeit des Erfolges von erklärenden Faktoren. Sie geben aber ein recht uneinheitliches Bild und differenzieren auch nicht nach Synergietypen. Die Arbeit besteht im wesentlichen aus zwei Teilen. Der erste Teil enthält eine theoretische Diskussion der vorstellbaren Synergiepotentiale und Hypothesen über die Einflußfaktoren, von denen das Auftreten der Poten

Overview: .Synergetic Economics. presents a new advance in analytical economics. It deals with problems related to time and change in economic systems, including complex aspects, such as the effects of nonlinearity, instability, bifurcation and chaos in economic evolution. The author argues that economic systems may run through a hierarchy of instabilities in which more and more structural patterns evolve. Such instabilities are caused by changes in the external parameters of the system. They may lead to new spatial-temporal patterns of the system. A number of explicit examples are provided to
