Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) refer to the processes through which companies consolidate their business operations, typically through two key activities: mergers and acquisitions. A merger occurs when two companies combine to form a new entity, often with the intention of improving competitiveness, market reach, and operational efficiency. An acquisition, on the other hand, involves one company purchasing another, enabling the acquirer to take control of the acquired company’s assets, operations, and liabilities.
M&A activities can lead to various strategic benefits, including increased market share, diversification of products or services, access to new markets and technologies, and economies of scale. These transactions can be friendly, where both parties agree to the terms, or hostile, where the target company opposes the takeover. M&A strategies are crucial components of corporate growth, restructuring, and overall business strategy, making them significant factors in the economic landscape.
