AP Mergers and Acquisitions

AP Mergers and Acquisitions refers to the process where companies combine or one company buys another. This can be done to increase market share, diversify products, or gain competitive advantages. In a merger, two companies join to form one new entity, while in an acquisition, one company takes control of another. These processes involve negotiation, valuation, and strategic planning, and can dramatically change the landscape of industries. Successful mergers and acquisitions aim to create value, enhance efficiency, and ultimately benefit shareholders and consumers.
