Acquisition
A company buys another company:
- To acquire the technologies owned by the other company.
- To acquire the talents (human resource), or assets owned by other company.
- To add its product/solution offerings. More product = more money.
- To increase its market share, acquire another company means acquire its clients, and prospects (and maybe competitors).
- To upsell products to acquired and old clients.
- To kill a competitor. Buy your competitor and neglect its products, and your product will be #1 eventually. This is not recommended by the way.
- Too much money in pocket, need to spend somewhere. :|
