Types of M & AHorizontal merger :

Two companies engaged in similar activities are combinedA merger between Coca-Cola and the Pepsi beverage

division, for example, would be horizontal in nature. The goal of a horizontal merger is to create a new, larger organization with more market share. Because the merging companies' business operations may be very similar, there may be opportunities to join certain operations, such as manufacturing, and reduce costs.

Con'tVertical merger :A merger between two companies producing different

goods or services for one specific finished product. A vertical merger occurs when two or more firms, operating at different levels within an industry's supply chain, merge operations.A vertical merger joins two companies that may not

compete with each other, but exist in the same supply chain. An automobile company joining with a parts supplier would be an example of a vertical merger.

Con'tConglomerate merger:

occurs when two businesses in unrelated industries decide to combine

A leading manufacturer of athletic shoes, merges with a soft drink firm. The resulting company is faced with the same competition in each of its two markets after the merger as the individual firms were before the merger. 

Con'tProduct Extension MergersA product extension merger takes place between two

business organizations that deal in products that are related to each other and operate in the same market.

The Mobilink Telecom Inc. & Broadcom is a proper example of product extension merger. Broadcom deals in the manufacturing Bluetooth personal area network hardware systems and chips for IEEE 802.11b wireless LAN. 

Types of M & A• Horizontal acquisition: When the acquirer and the target are in the same industry.

• Vertical acquisition:

When the acquirer and the target are at different stages of the production process; example: an airline company acquiring a travel agency.

• Conglomerate acquisition: The acquirer and the target are not related to each other.
