More Reasons Behind Mergers or Acquisitions
I want to add a few more points:
- Synergy: The idea that by sharing resources or costs, performance might increase and/or costs might decrease.
- Diversification, selling more products or services in more markets.
- Buying Power: Increased bargaining power as a combined buyer towards suppliers.
- Selling Power: Increased bargaining power as a combined supplier towards buyers.
- Eliminating Competition: Buying a competitor will also make it harder to enter the market for new entrants, because of increased required economies of scale.
