Answers:
Why? are you trying to get someone to answer an essay question for you?
Mergers don't always turn out what they want them to.
The big flop of AOL with Time Warner is a perfect example.
It has to do with "synergies".
Some companies can't blend in with other companies.
The purpose for merging is to eliminate expenses such as costs related to property (renting.usually), salaries for workers, etc.
The more merging going on, the more people keep losing jobs.
Acquisitions work the same way, as with Cisco Systems that keeps buying out competition..
That also eliminates overlapping expenses and working staff.
While all this is going on with most corporations today, there are hidden costs with this activity that don't get the companies as big and powerful as they hope to be.
Costs like changing names and severance pay packages can be higher than the costs for eliminating duplication expenses.
Yet, this trend goes on and on, which keeps the stock markets moving higher.
