Merger
Acquisition (also known as a takeover)
Purpose of Mergers and Acquisition
The main reason for M&A is faster growth and better productivity but there could be other reasons like
- Enhance productivity cycle by enhancing supplies with adequate supply of raw material.

Types of Mergers
- Horizontal mergers take place where the two merging companies produce similar product in the same industry.
- Vertical mergers occur when two firms, each working at different stages in the production of the same good, combine.
- Congeneric mergers occur where two merging firms are in the same general industry, but they have no mutual buyer/customer or supplier relationship
- Conglomerate mergers take place when the two firms operate in different industries.
