Erik Mooi (Department of Marketing) and Stefan H.K. Wuyts (Koç University Istanbul) have won a prestigious grant from the ISBM (Institute of the Study of Business Markets) of Penn State University.
The grant is intended to study the stock market performance effects of technology licensing contracts. Initial research suggests that the stock market reactions of the licensors and licensees are often positive but that in many cases gains of one party come with stock market losses of the other party. This may be due to too little, or too much, control and coordination in the licensing agreements.
