Strategy in Practice Assignment #3

Remember that your article must be current, and your discussion must be comprehensive.

•Make certain that the selected article is a news item. Do not choose an editorial, a scholarly journal piece, a general discussion of mergers and acquisitions, or anything other than a news article.

•It is important to note the distinction between mergers and acquisitions; the two terms are often used interchangeably, but this practice is not correct; so, before you begin to write, determine whether the transaction discussed in your article is definitively an example of a merger or an example of an acquisition.
