corporate mergers

A corporate merger occurs when two companies combine into a single entity, often to increase market share, reduce competition, or achieve greater efficiency. This process can involve sharing resources, technology, or management strategies to improve competitiveness. Mergers can be friendly, with mutual agreement, or hostile if one company opposes the takeover. The goal is typically to create a stronger, more competitive organization, though they can also lead to concerns about reduced competition and monopoly power. Overall, mergers reshape markets and industries by consolidating companies to better serve consumers and shareholders.
