An acquisition, also known as a takeover or a buyout, is the buying of one company (the ‘target’) by another. An acquisition may be friendly or hostile.
In the former case, the companies cooperate in negotiations; in the
latter case, the takeover target is unwilling to be bought or the
target's board
has no prior knowledge of the offer. Acquisition usually refers to a
purchase of a smaller firm by a larger one. Sometimes, however, a
smaller firm will acquire management control of a larger or longer
established company and keep its name for the combined entity. This is
known as a reverse takeover.
Another type of acquisition is reverse merger, a deal that enables a
private company to get publicly listed in a short time period. A reverse merger
occurs when a private company that has strong prospects and is eager to
raise financing buys a publicly listed shell company, usually one with
no business and limited assets. Achieving acquisition success has
proven to be very difficult, while various studies have showed that 50%
of acquisitions were unsuccessful.[citation needed] The acquisition process is very complex, with many dimensions influencing its outcome.[1]
