Drupady [299]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Mergers and acquisitions consist of either joining two or more firms, or having one firm acquire another firm.

The rationale behind a merger or acquisiton is always strategic: a merger or an acquisition is carried out with the goal of improving the economic position and performance of the firms involved.

Some business strategies that can be implemented by a merger or acquisition are:

  • Horizontal integration: companies that sell similar products merge in order to join forces and expand their market reach.
  • Vertical integration: companies in the same industry, but that sell different products (for example, one company sells cars and the other sells bikes) merge in order to expand their market share.
  • Conglomerate formation: companies in different industries join in order to expand their markets even more.

Why does actual group productivity never equal potential productivity?
Rama09 [41]

The answer to the question is (C) time is lost to coordinating and organizing group members.

Some of these processes usually include determining how to do the work and distributing the assignments to the right person, as well as setting the roles in the team.

The first step a domestic firm takes when entering an international arena is usually to create an international division.
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The answer is: False

Explanation:

Whenever a company wants to go international it has a lot work to do before creating an international division. Several things must be done before, mostly research, for example:

  • Research if your product is know overseas, is there any possible market for it, are there any restraints for your products in those new markets.
  • Any legal constraint or logistical problem you have to consider.
  • Any local competition you have to worry about.
  • Does your product fit in a new culture.
  • And very many etceteras.

That should all be done before considering spending money on creating an international division.

Probably when the internet didn´t exist, communications were scarce, no Tv existed, people in one country didn´t know anything about other cultures, etc., a comp nay would have first created an international division to scout foreign markets but right now it doesn´t make sense.
