Growth is the desired result of any business organization and merger and acquisition (M&A) is the usual procedure adopted by the companies for expansion. That is why it is assumed that every company has the inherent right to merge and the power need not necessarily spring from the memorandum. Companies quickly increase their size, service area, talent pool, customer base, and resources through M&A. The process is very costly, hence the businesses need to be sure about the processes and the pitfalls, if any. Hence people involved in the entire procedure of M&A should be aware of every facet of it. This course is to make you aware of the various legal, accounting, and tax implications involved in M&A along with human resource and public policy concepts.
