Merger & acquisition
Merger and acquisition (M&A) are business strategies where companies combine or transfer ownership. A merger occurs when two companies unite to form a new, larger organization, often sharing resources and goals. An acquisition happens when one company buys another, taking control of its operations and assets. These processes can help companies grow, expand into new markets, or improve competitiveness. Think of it as two businesses deciding to join forces (merger) or one purchasing another’s business (acquisition) to strengthen their position in the industry.
