Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)
180 posts
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) refer to business transactions where two companies combine (merger) or one company purchases another (acquisition). M&As are strategic moves to expand market share, gain new capabilities, reduce competition, or achieve growth. While mergers create a new entity, acquisitions result in one company absorbing another. These deals can impact employees, operations, stock value, and retirement plans, often triggering regulatory review and integration planning. M&As are common in industries seeking consolidation and efficiency.
