How do mergers and acquisition work?

[blicknick]

A merger would occur when two companies agree to operate as one. Each company could be the equal of the other. An acquisition is when a powerful companies takes over another company (usually through financial prowess). Acquisitions can have mixed results. Google acquired YouTube and made it a powerful entity. Yet Renault, a French car manufacturer with a miserable reputation for quality, took over Nissan infusing Nissan with the same poor quality (check their recent reliability).
