Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) is the joining of two companies into one or the purchase by another of the assets or stock of the company. M&A allows companies to expand their reach, increase market share, and expand into new markets and regions. M&A can also boost bargaining power with customers, suppliers as well as competitors, resulting in savings in costs. In times of uncertainty like the 2008 financial crisis, mergers and purchases may increase. Companies pool their resources to withstand difficult conditions.
