A merger is a partial or total combination of two separate business firms and forming of a new one. There are predominantly two kinds of mergers: partial and complete.

That brings a great challenge to succeed, and lets the leadership work in new and innovative ways to make such a merger successful. McClelland’s theory states, in regards to the need for achievement, that people strive “To excel one’s self.to rival and surpass others. to increase self-regard by the successful exercise of talent” (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2010, p. 215).

Deciding how important decisions are made is crucial in any business structure, but even more so when there is more than one owner. Therefore, the partnership agreement mandates how the owners will make decisions by either unanimous vote or by majority vote. Capital contributions include funds provided by the partners to be utilized in the business.
