Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A merger is a business combination in which two companies come together and their assets are united to make one new organization. This new organization will have a new management team and corporate structure, incorporating the assets of both the original companies. This is different from an acquisition, where one company usually takes over another company's assets or operations, and vertical integration, where a company expands into a different stage of the supply chain. A proxy fight is a tactic used to gain control of a publicly traded company through soliciting shareholders to vote by proxy on a change in management or other corporate governance issues.
