Merger and Acquisition (M&A)
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) refer to the processes where two companies combine (merger) or one company buys another (acquisition). A merger often involves two companies of similar size joining forces to create a stronger entity, while an acquisition typically involves a larger company purchasing a smaller one. M&A can help businesses grow, gain new technologies, enter new markets, or reduce competition. These processes can improve efficiency and profitability, but they also require careful planning and integration to ensure success and address cultural differences between the companies involved.
