From the supplier: The merger and acquisition (M&A) activity of Canadian technology firms is at an all-time high. Majority of the transactions from 1998 to 1998 have been between Canadian companies, unlike before when Canadian companies were mostly bought by US acquirers. The robust activity is expected to persist from 1999 to 2002, during which 80% to 90% of mid-sized to large companies are predicted enter an M&A transaction. There are many factors driving this active M&A market. For selling firms, the motivation is the opportunity to secure the financial resources they need for continued growth. On the other hands, buying firms are encouraged by their need to access the latest in technology, identify market trends that they cannot recognize on their own, and enhance their R&D efforts. The technical skills of employees as well as the management and financial expertise of managers of target firms are other reasons why larger firms are enticed by upstart technology firms.
