TakeOver is a strategic business process where one company acquires control over another company. This can happen through purchasing a majority of its shares or assets, allowing the acquiring company to influence or direct the operations of the target company. Takeovers can be friendly, where both parties agree, or hostile, where the target company resists the acquisition. The primary goal of a TakeOver is often to enhance market share, expand product offerings, or achieve synergies that can lead to cost savings. Companies may pursue takeovers to gain access to new technologies, enter new markets, or eliminate competition.
