1) To avoid being taken over themselves. It usually requires extra debt or more stock (diluting their earnings) to buy another company, so the resulting company is less attractive to anyone pursuing them.
2) To become vertically-integrated. Some companies believe they can lower costs by buying up their suppliers - plus they often can control the costs of their competitors.
3) To become diversified. Companies buy businesses in different industries to reduce the risk of being in just one line of business. The problem here is that they end up outside their area of expertise and the resulting company usually does poorly.
4) Economies of scale. Instead of each company having their own accounting, warehouse, distribution, marketing, etc., they can merge and use the support network of one of them. The sales increase, but the costs do not.
There are more reasons, but those are the first that come to mind. |

There are several reasons for a takeover. I have listed some:
-You can eliminate many managerial positions, and therefore salary. For example, you will no longer need two CEOs.
-To increase economies of scale
-To increase economies of scope
-To gain market share, which confers several advantages
-To capitalize on a superior brand name |

There are numerous reasons. One is revenue growth. There are 2 ways to increase revenue. Expansion or aquisition. When you aquire a company your revenues grow instantly which makes the company look like it's growing.
Another reason is to increase ones market presence. The company I work for was just bought by an enormous Indian company. They wanted to increase there presence in America so they bought a company based in America. |

Growth, market share and the elimination of competition.
By merging or take over the company now has a larger client base because it has both customers now, it also can combine R&D Depts. to come out with better ideas.
Also it a rival company is making better money, it's usually purchased for the porfits.
The main purpose for almost any take over is money, it give the new company a larger playing stake in the market, with growing share holders and eliminate competition. Any time you can take your competitor out of the picture you gain their share of the profits. |

Actually corporate strategy is a difficult subject to outline. Just know that it is just that. Strategy. There are many reasons. A few examples would be:
1. To further dominate a share of their prospective markets.
2. To further expand their product base.
3. To further expand their customer base.
4. Maybe they are looking to compete on an international level
5. There might be one part of their current structure that is failing. A conglomerate merger or takeover might help to bring this area back to par.
Whatever their goals might be, there are still goals. Sometimes these goals are not in the immediate best interests of all of the corporation's employees, but the board executives feel it is in the best interests of the company and, in the future, may prove to be beneficial to all.
In the end, it comes down to a company's ability to adapt and survive. The global market is very tough place to compete. Therefore, rational decisions are sometimes made at the most irrational times. |

Profit is always the bottom line. Many times, you get a "feel" for what your company has in mind. Keep working hard, but be on the lookout for other jobs out there. Best wishes! |

It is much less expensive for a company to take over another, than to expand thie own venture and compete with same. |
