Mergers and Acquiescence

"Mergers are the (unusually) unintentional combinations of unrelated subjects spliced together in disturbing ways"

Where does the above definition come from you wonder? Before I tell you that, let me tell you that things we covered in the class last weekend between Strategy and M&A classes pretty much sums it up.

It was ironic that I would find the above definition in a very unusal place with a completely different context and yet have it mean the (almost) same. If I am to believe those who don't believe in M&A. The definition was in "Digital SLR Cameras & Photography for Dummies" by David D. Busch.

Over the next few days I will update this space with more information on M&A with references to Economics and Strategy.

Please stay tuned....meanwhile think about why I would use the term "Acquiescence" instead of Acquisitions.

Some interesting links for you on this subject:
