Business acquisitions refer to the process where one company purchases another company or its assets to gain control over it. This can involve the outright purchase of a business or the acquisition of significant stakes in a company. The rationale behind acquisitions often includes expanding market share, entering new markets, leveraging synergies, obtaining new technologies or products, and enhancing competitiveness. Acquisitions can be friendly (with the agreement of the target company’s management) or hostile (without the consent of the target’s management).
