Yahoo is a big fish now. I think both will buy smaller search engines if there market share shrink. Yahoo is growing in market share against google because of the news on yahoo homepage and answers. Google will enter into the market in both catagories. It only a matter of time. |

This is a bit of a broad question to answer here, but the quick answer is no.
There are plenty of examples of companies growing through acquisition (as your fish analogy explains). However, there are several instances where this does not or cannot happen, meaning it does not "always" happen:
* Monopolies, in most countries are not allowed. In the UK the monopolies commission looks at big deals and can prevent "big fishes" from buying out too many "small fishes" as it would threaten competition, and hurt the consumer in the long run.
* Growth through acquisition is not an easy option. Buying out a company requires considerable resources, and it is difficult to integrate two separate businesses successfully into one single entity. It is not uncommon for big acquisitions to considerably weaken companies share prices, and harm profitability for many years.
* In the current climate where credit is in short supply, even companies with the appetite to buy "smaller fish" are being prevented to as they cannot raise the funds.
* "smaller fish" often merge with other "smaller fish".
With regards to your specific example - I don't know. I am not sure how this would be regulated, but I expect they would probably be prevented from doing so in the interests of competition. Indeed, I doubt it would be worth Google’s while. Yahoo would cost them a massive amount, and it would be difficult to integrate the two businesses meaningfully. As we have seen Google’s strategy is to acquire businesses which help it diversify its offering, as they are already comfortable in the search engine market. |

Yes, but not always.
Is Yahoo a small fish? I don't think so. |

In business, the big fish pays lawyers to bully and buy out the little fish and then strip its assets until it is gone.... |
