Mergers
A merger occurs when two companies combine their resources and operations to form a single, unified entity. This process is typically driven by the desire to increase market share, improve operational efficiency, or expand into new geographic regions.
Unlike acquisitions, where one company purchases another, mergers are often seen as a partnership of equals, creating synergies that benefit both organizations.

In an acquisition, one company purchases another, and no new entity is created in the process.
