and M&A
• Acquisitions
Acquisitions and mergers are effectively the same thing. Most mergers are really
one company acquiring the other. In this acquisition process, the acquiring
company receives the good and bad, the positive and the negative resources,
liabilities, and reputation. The acquiring organization receives all assets and
liabilities of the acquired organization.
• Alliances
Alliances, generally strategic to an organization’s short or long-term plans, are
contractual relationships wherein both organizations remain independent while
collaborating to develop a mutually-beneficial result within a specific scope
outlined in the contractual agreement. A very simple example would be the cross
promotion efforts that are regularly employed by Hollywood ’s movie producers
and various companies that sell their products or services directly to consumers.
