Mergers

A merger is when two companies agree to combine their businesses into one new entity, often to improve efficiency, increase market share, or enhance competitiveness. This process usually involves negotiation and can create a stronger company that offers more products or services. Mergers can be friendly, where both companies cooperate, or hostile, if one company attempts to take over another against its wishes. The goal is generally to create a more valuable organization that can better respond to market demands and drive innovation.
