A conglomerate merger is a combination of two or more companies that are involved in different business activities. The merged company will have its own identity and brand, but it may also take on the name of one of the original companies.
The main advantage of a conglomerate merger is that it allows two or more companies to work together to achieve more than they could individually. Some examples of conglomerate mergers include:
A takeover where one company buys another company entirely, as in the case of a private equity firm buying a retail store.
A joint venture between two or more companies, such as when two businesses form an alliance to share resources and expertise in order to enter new markets or develop new products.
An acquisition where one company buys the other's assets but not the entire company, such as when an established brand purchases another's intellectual property rights for use in its own product line.
A strategic alliance between two companies involved in different business activities such as manufacturing and retailing, which allows them to share resources without becoming legally bound by contract or having any control over one another's operations.
