Most corporate name changes are the result of mergers and acquisitions. But these tend to be unimaginative.
- James Surowiecki
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) are usually high-value and greater stakes transactions with a lot present. The process of M&A is intensive. The process will alter based on the size, complexity, and kind of M&A deal. The words "mergers" and "acquisitions" are usually interchangeable, but they vary in meaning. They refer to the consolidation of organizations or their high business assets with financial transactions among the organizations. An organization will buy and absorb another organization outright, merge with it into making a new firm, acquire a few or all of its major assets, give a tender offer for its stock, or create a hostile takeover. All of these fall under M&A investment banking activities.
