Mergers & Acquisitions
Mergers and acquisitions, or commonly referred to as M&A, is the process in which a company will; transfer, sell, or combine operating units or entire company to another company. Specifically, a merger is when two companies combine together to make one company. An acquisition is when one company takes ownership of another company and all of their assets, in effect creating a larger company. In your merger you have decided to keep your company name, and adopt their product lines. An example of an acquisition would be during the financial crisis of 2009 when larger banks were buying smaller banks. A merger is the preferred term to use, as an acquisition in most cases sounds hostile and has a negative connotation.

The Next Recession
Many citizens of the United States are able to relate to the consequences of poverty: unemployment, homelessness, hopelessness. This can be especially true for those who have suffered through economic hardships, such as the Great Recession of 2008 or the memorable Great Depression. Through the current years of market growth, concerns have risen about the possibility of a recession coming soon. Citizens have already begun to ask for the government’s help in the issue, which would consist of building a program that strengthens the economy to prevent shortcomings in America’s industries. In discussions of a national recession-prevention program, the United States government should take into consideration the nation’s employment rates, international trade partners, and stability within its big banks in order to fully protect the economy from its downfall.
