Abstract

In order to fulfill the recovery and development objective, the companies may choose from internal or external growth strategies, but most of the time they turn to mixes of them. The growth strategy through mergers and acquisitions is often preferred against the internal development or forming alliances/groups/clusters etc., because the decision makers wish to hold complete control and to protect themselves of the unforeseen represented by another manager’s decision given that choosing a strategy from the ones mentioned previously may lead to similar results with financial effort and less risks. The companies’ mergers respond to the growth strategies the decision makers adopt, regardless if the result is wished to be the increase of the market share and obtaining key advantages (mergers that respond to offensive strategy) or the strengthening position in a sector and moment of the market that do not offer growth opportunities (defensive strategies).
