Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) in the area of corporate finances, management, and strategy dealing with purchasing and/or joining with other companies. In a merger, two organizations join forces to become a new business. In an acquisition, on the other hand, one business buys a second (usually smaller) company which may be absorbed into the parent company or run as a branch or subsidiary.

Companies need to have a clear, well-defined strategy for their specific business vertical. As part of this process, the business leader (typically the CEO or VP) needs to consider all possible alternatives: Build in-house, License, Partner, Co-invest, Acquire, etc., and come to the conclusion that a specific acquisition is the best way to go. Unfortunately, more than half of all mergers & acquisitions fail. But every situation and every company is different. That is why starting and successfully running a company requires experience and knowledge of a local set of laws and rules.
