Description

What you'll learn:

  • Different types of mergers and acquisitions
  • How businesses are acquired
  • What are good mergers

Mergers and Acquisitions happen when two or more organizations merge their operations either partially or completely together. Acquisition in a broad sense means the takeover of one company by another, when the businesses of both the companies are brought together as one.

In a narrow sense, it is the coming together of two companies which are equal in size. In full acquisition, the entire share capital is purchased by the acquirer. In partial acquisition, only a part of the share capital, i.e., more than 10% but less than 50% is obtained by the acquirer. A joint venture is a type of partnership business where two or more organizations invest cash or assets in a particular project or business.

The partners or the people who invest can form a separate company for this purpose according to their investment ratio. Here, the organizations involved do not buy each other’s stock. The organizations had similar interests and the main purpose is to create a strategic alliance between them.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
