	abstract = {Received research suggests that a firm subsidiary{\textquoteright}s acquisition by a new owner has countervailing effects on the subsidiary{\textquoteright}s innovation adoption behavior. On one hand, ownership change can make a subsidiary more receptive to innovation by reducing some inertial forces and introducing new resources to overcome others. Alternatively, the costs and demands of an acquisition can draw decision makers{\textquoteright} attention away from important innovations in the technological environment. This event history study disentangles these countervailing influences by examining the influences of radio station ownership change on stations{\textquoteright} adoptions of HD Radio{\textregistered} technology. The study finds that a change in ownership control does have a positive direct influence on the likelihood of technology adoption, but that it also curtails tendency for subsidiaries to subsequently mimic others{\textquoteright} technology adoptions.},
