Why the Merger and Acquisition Market is So Busy

In order to remain competitive, businesses must acquire more assets and new technology in today’s fiercely competitive business environment. This is the reason the merger and acquisition market has been a roaring success this year. One of the most frequent reasons for a business to invest in M&A is to increase financial resources. M&A typically involves one company buying another with cash, stock or assumption of debt or the combination of these. The money the buyer receives can be used to scale up its operations or invest in new product lines. It could also help it gain access to distribution channels it wouldn’t be able to reach on its own.

Other reasons include increasing market shares, enhancing brand images, and diversifying products. For instance, Facebook and other social media giants acquire apps that target certain demographics to expand their users. M&A can also lead to savings through economies of scale and streamlined processes. Additionally, M&A can allow companies to gain access to new markets quickly and also gain tax benefits during the process.

M&A is a powerful method to expand a business, however, it comes with risk. It could lead to the company being the dominant player in an industry, which could lead to monopolies. M&As typically fall under the control of government. Additionally, M&As are intimately entwined with geopolitical relations. The study of M&As using a cultural political economic lens can provide valuable insights into the ways in which corporate power is negotiated and transferred across shifting economic geography.
