It means that one corporation that is less dominant absorbed by corporation that is more dominant. In another words, corporation with more dominant retain its identity while the other corporation has to abandon its own identity. Merger is combining two corporation to form a new company while acquisition is buy over one company and do not create a new company. 1.2 Downsizing As noted by Robbins & Pearce (1992), downsizing is a reasonable option for business grow strategic through reducing the scale and scope of a business so as to improve its financial performance. Corporation practices through shedding staffs that are less productivity in order to reduce operating cost and improve efficiency.

This due to two corporations which form a newly company that have a higher purchasing power to reach for a bigger market. In fact, after merger and acquisition take place, the value of shareholder for the newly formed corporation will greater than the sum of shareholder values of a single corporation.

It is proper to present a business definition of merger as it found on legal reference with the ultimate goal in the pursuing of an explanation on which this paper intents to present. A merger in accordance with the textbook is legally defined as a contractual and statuary process in which the (surviving corporation) acquires all the assets and liabilities of another corporation (the merged corporation). The definition go even farther to involve and clarify about what happen to shares by explaining the following; “the shareholders of the merged corporation either are paid for their share or receive the shares of the surviving corporation”. But in simple terms is my attempt to define as the product or birth of a corporation on which typically extends its operation by combining with another corporation. So from two on existence corporations in the process it gets absorbed into becomes one entity. The legal definition also implied more than meet the eye. The terms contractual and statuary, it implied a process on which contracts and statuary measures emerge as measures to regulate, standardized, governing or simply at times may complicate whole process. These terms provide an explicit umbrella and it becomes as part of the agreement formulating or promoting a case for contracts to be precedent, enforced or regulated in a now or in the future under a court of law under the Contract Business Law Statue of Practice. As for what happens to the shares of the involved corporations no more explanation is needed as the already actions mentioned clearly stated of the expectations of a merge’s share involvement.

A merger may lead to job losses. If the job losses lead to greater efficiency then the economy will benefit in the long run, and if firms get to big, they may suffer from diseconomies of scale. Diseconomies of scale come about when a business or organization becomes so big, or so inefficient, that the cost-per-unit of its products and services starts to rise. A business can only grow so much before the benefits of growth begin to create additional costs and resources, because any additional output becomes more expensive. Complexities take over and bureaucracies dominate, leading to more
