ITPEC IP April 2025 — Question 80 of 100
Acquire another company to obtain missing capabilities and accelerate business deployment — this is a central purpose of mergers and acquisitions.
M&A can provide technology, people, products, customers, distribution, or market access faster than developing the capability internally. The acquired business is combined with or brought under the control of the buyer.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- (a) describes value-chain analysis
- (b) describes a divisional organizational structure
- (c) describes business process reengineering, or BPR
Key rule: M&A changes corporate ownership or combination to obtain assets and capabilities; analysis, organization design, and process reform do not themselves constitute M&A.
