Overview: It has been observed that mergers continue to grow at an ever increasing pace. The United States Federal Trade Commission reports that the number of filings in 1999 was almost three times the number received in 1993. This same trend is being experienced worldwide. This trend is not just for internet-related businesses, however. Nor are mergers limited to one particular type of business. The list of past and anticipated mergers covers every size and variety of business -- mergers are on the increase over the whole marketplace. Many mergers are in truth acquisitions. One business actually buys another and incorporates it into its own business model. Because of this misuse of the term merger, many statistics on mergers are presented for the combined mergers and acquisitions (M&A) that are occurring. Hence, for the corporate leadership, the whole process can be so overwhelming that the business deteriorates.
