Seizing Opportunities, Safeguarding Success
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are strategic business activities involving the combination of two companies, either through a merger or an acquisition. While both involve the consolidation of business entities, they differ in their structure and the roles of the involved parties.
When two businesses that are around the same size come together to establish a new, single company, this is called a merger. Creating synergy via the combination of resources, knowledge, and market share to form a stronger, more competitive business is the aim of a merger.
There exist many classifications for mergers: conglomerate mergers, which include firms in different sectors, vertical mergers, which involve companies in the same supply chain, and horizontal mergers, which involve competitors in the same industry.
An acquisition occurs when one business (the acquirer) buys another business (the target) outright to take over its operations and assets. Acquisitions are frequently made in order to accomplish strategic goals including breaking into new markets, obtaining access to intellectual property or technology, or getting rid of rivals. Acquisitions may be amicable or antagonistic. A hostile acquisition occurs when the acquirer pursues the target firm against its will, whereas a friendly acquisition includes both parties consenting to the deal.
