Principles for Merger Integration. Small businesses merge to achieve cost synergies, enter new markets and expand product offerings. However, none of these benefits are possible without adequate planning, restructuring of business units and an understanding of the risks involved.
Three basic kinds of mergers may have this effect: horizontal mergers, which involve two competitors; vertical mergers, which involve firms in a buyer-seller relationship; and potential competition mergers, in which the buyer is likely to enter the market and become a potential competitor of the seller, or vice versa. potential competition merger involves one competitor buying a company that is planning to enter its market to compete (or vice versa). Such an acquisition could be harmful in two ways. For one thing, it can prevent the actual increased competition that would result from the firm's entry.
