Acquisitions versus Mergers

[klassicdoll]

A merger happens when two independent organizations come together to form a single, new entity. The term "acquisition" describes the taking over of one business by another.

Which do you think is a better strategic alliance between the two?

The merger seem to have better plan but the acquisition may come up with an interesting plan

Although legally the merger process will be more difficult because there is an element of combining two or more companies into one entity unit which requires a notary, etc. while for acquisition you only need to buy shares above 50% of the issuer's outstanding shares. In my opinion, there is no better strategic alliance because it all depends on your business goals.
