Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A merger is when two companies combine to form a new entity, which is what happened with Verizon and Yahoo. They are now operating as one company under the Verizon umbrella. Synergy is also a possible answer, as the two companies may be able to leverage each other's strengths and resources to create a greater overall value, but the term "merger" more accurately describes the overall combination of the two companies. Conglomeration and high culture are not applicable terms in this context.
