These criteria require high quality echocardiographic images, with consistent landmarks to ensure consistency of image acquisition.
To increase consistency of data acquisition, ground stainless steel sample plates were used to provide more reproducible crystal formation with the chosen matrix.
This study has documented clear imaging criteria to ensure consistency of echocardiographic acquisition for the identification of AVP.
Based on a large sample of 379 series consisting of 1990 European serial transactions, we will empirically analyze the effect of strategic consistency in acquisition series.
In line with the theoretical premises outlined above, our basic assumption is that there are positive transfer effects of strategic consistency within acquisition series, resulting in a positive relationship between strategic consistency and performance of serial acquisitions.
Overall, we find evidence for a positive impact of strategic consistency in acquisition series on acquisition performance.
Further studies of strategic consistency in acquisition programs may include divestment decisions, as they are generally an integral part of restructuring programs.
Based on a sample of 379 series consisting of 1990 serial acquisitions, we have found evidence for a significantly positive relationship between strategic consistency and acquisition performance in terms of CAR.
Employing a sample of 379 acquisition series, we find evidence for a positive transfer effect of strategic consistency within series and, therefore, a positive relationship between strategic consistency and acquisition performance.
In a similar way, the analysis of the role strategic consistency is playing in organizational learning offers us a deeper insight into how acquirers develop and adapt competencies to execute individual acquisitions as well as to manage acquisition series (see Laamanen and Keil 2008 for a differentiation of different layers of acquisition capability development).
