The market for corporate control: The scientific evidence
-
Subsequently, finance scholars have re-examined this evidence in the context of various types of acquisition activities (e.g., mergers, tender offers, proxy fights, leveraged buyouts, cash versus stock-based offers, and contested versus uncontested bids) and in the context of other countries (e.g., the UK, France, Germany, and Australia). The Jensen and Ruback evidence has held up remarkably well
-
The earliest evidence in this regard was pointed out more than fifteen years ago by Michael Jensen and Richard Ruback in their famous article, "The Market for Corporate Control: The Scientific Evidence," Journal of Financial Economics, 11/1 (1983): 5-50. Subsequently, finance scholars have re-examined this evidence in the context of various types of acquisition activities (e.g., mergers, tender offers, proxy fights, leveraged buyouts, cash versus stock-based offers, and contested versus uncontested bids) and in the context of other countries (e.g., the UK, France, Germany, and Australia).

Annalee Saxenian provides clear evidence as to how the cultures of Route 128 and Silicon Valley differ. For example, Saxenian characterizes Route 128 as a continued part of the Puritan culture, where well-defined social hierarchies are important. In contrast, Silicon Valley consists of newer firms with a collegiate atmosphere that emphasized the exchange of information and ideas and also friendly competition. See Annalee Saxenian, Regional Advantage and Competition in Silicon Valley and Route 128 (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1994).

The analysis in this section is based on the online Mergers and Acquisitions database of the Securities Data Corporation (SDC). which is now part of Thomson Financial Securities Data. The following SDC-defined sectors represent Silicon-Valley-type assets: all computer and computer-related industries (such as mainframes, workstations, PCs, portables, all computer peripherals, modems, CAD-CAM systems, networking systems such as LANs, software, and computer-related services) and communications-related industries (such as telecommunications equipment, cellular/satellite/mobile communications systems, modems, data communications equipment, internet services, and internet software). The list excludes telecommunications service providers and media companies. If those two were added the numbers would be even more impressive, given that there has been almost $1 trillion in M&A activity in just the U.S. telecommunications service sector in the 1990s.

In Silicon Valley, if a young engineer or programmer has been in a job for more than two years, he or she risks being considered stale. Along Route 128, an individual with a succession of 2-year positions is seen as having a poor employment history and as posing a risk.

reports that the traditional conservatism of Boston society made it harder for the management and staff of Route 128-area firms to risk dramatic innovations in personal lifestyle or company policy. As a result. New England employees tended to be more family-and community-oriented than their Silicon Valley counterparts and they spent less time socializing with fellow workers. A parallel could be drawn with the employees of European firms and their resistance to networking in Silicon Valley
