We examine factors influencing the decision to acquire additional equity in partner firms in research - intensive industries. This decision involves choosing between flexibility and commitment. Option theory motivates hypotheses regarding the effects of uncertainty, valuation of developing technologies, and the threat of preemptive rivalry. Our main hypothesis is that the resolution of uncertainty for high - value technologies motivtes commitment decisions. We also argue that when the underlying growth option is at risk of preemption by rivals, greater uncertainty, encourages commitment. An event history model tests these hypotheses using data from minority investments in the biotechnology industry.
