Mergers and acquisitions involve combining two companies to capitalize on their mutual strengths and synergies. A merger unifies two similar companies, while an acquisition involves a larger company purchasing a smaller one. These strategies allow companies to scale up operations, gain market share, and leverage each other's expertise and resources. Key considerations for mergers and acquisitions include ensuring strategic fit, capitalizing on synergies, evaluating market opportunities, and creating long-term value for stakeholders.
