What is a merger and acquisition?


Question asked by: mrquestion

Asked on: 31 Mar 2008

This is a type of business deal whereby two companies join together, and one of them takes the other over in the process.

Often one competitor will buy another to get its staff and experience and to expand its own operations, this is an M&A or merger and acquisition.
