Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A hostile takeover is a situation in which a firm acquires another firm against the wishes of the target firm's board of directors and top management. In this scenario, Prism Inc. is buying Sealord Corp. despite their objections. This would not be considered a merger because a merger typically involves a mutual agreement between two companies to combine operations. Accommodation and divestiture also do not fit the scenario described.
