Why Companies Decide to Participate in Mergers and Acquisition Transactions

Abstract

The article describes the most common motives for companies’ decision to participate in mergers and acquisitions’ transactions. It underlines the importance of the growth factor, whereas the following factors – namely, synergy, diversification and so on – just support the growth motive. Since mergers and acquisitions involve two different parties – the buyer and the seller – the examples of reasons from both perspectives are provided too.
