| Abstract: | The different types of mergers and acquisitions are examined, and some defensive and offensive strategies and tactics are explained. Reasons for mergers and takeovers are also dealt with. Four basic types of mergers are recognized: horizontal; vertical; circular; conglomerate. Takeover candidates are characterized. Some methods of financial analysis are described. It is shown how a company can use prevention techniques to prevent a takeover attempt. Three examples of merger/takeover activities are presented: Chrysler/AMC's friendly merger; Shamrock's hostile and unsuccessful bid for Polaroid; and Campeau's takeover of Federated Department Stores. A glossary of terms is included. |
