Why is shareholder wwealth maximization be a beter operating goal than profit maximization?
A firm's operating goal should be to maximize shareholder wealth as it is shareholders who are the owners of the firm. Profit maximizing however is more of a personal/management oriented type goal as it only benefits those running the company. This problem is known as the Agency issue, and it is directly related to the asymmetry of information problem that all firms suffer from. Typically, higher ranking persons in a company, usually managers, know a lot more about the firms operations than do subordinates and common stock holders; this information may be exploited so that only profits and managements' personal pay packets are maximized, and shareholders who funded the firms operations by their purchase of ordinary equity benefit none as they experience no gain through increase in share value. In order to overcome this issue, several things can be done. For example, monitoring techniques can be put in place to ensure management is acting in shareholder interest and not their own, or alternatively, management pay packets can be directly linked to the goal of maximizing shareholder wealth. If and when this goal is achieved and shareholders realize gains, management may be paid a cash bonus or an allotment of shares. Put simply, shareholder wealth maximization should be the firms operating goal simply because they are financing the firms operations with their investing in the firm; to act against their interests is unethical, but still not unheard of.

What are 3 examples of corporate mergers?
The three main types of merger are horizontal mergers which increase market share, vertical mergers which exploit existing synergies and concentric mergers which expand the product offering. Types of mergers and acquisitions There are a number of different types of mergers and acquisitions. However, there are some which are the most common. Conglomerate merger Conglomerate Merger These types of mergers happen between companies that have completely unrelated sets of business activities. Usually, there are two kinds of conglomerate mergers – fixed and pure. Pure mergers happen between firms which have nothing in common while fixed mergers happen between firms which are looking to expand in a particular market or product. A live example of this can be seen in the Walt Disney and American Broadcasting Company merger. Horizontal merger Horizontal Merger This merger happens between firms that are present in the same industry. It is a consolidation where the companies operate in the same space as competitors. These acquisition types are most common in markets where there is higher competition and it would make business sense to combine two companies and become a bigger force. An example of this can be seen in the $81 billion acquisition of Mobil by the Exxon group. Vertical merger Vertical Merger These types of business takeovers happen between companies that provide different services or raw material for one finished product. You can see it as a merger between two firms that operate at different stages in one supply chain. The most common logic between these M&A is to better the synergies and cutting the cost down in the supply chain. An example of this can be seen in IKEA’s acquisition of the Romanian Baltic Forests. Market extension mergers Market extension mergers This type of mergers happen between two firms which deal in one product but in completely different markets. The main objective behind this merger type as you must have guessed is to ensure that the merging companies get better access to a bigger market and in turn a much larger client base. An example of this is the 2002 acquisition of Eagle Bancshares Inc by RBC Centura Inc. – a subsidiary of the Royal Bank of Canada. Product extension mergers This type of mergers happen between firms, operating in the same market, which deal in products that are related to each other. This merger enables the companies to merge their product and get direct access to a large client base, thus increasing the probability of higher revenue. An example of this merger type can be seen in the acquisition of Mobilink Telecom Inc by Broadcom. Congeneric mergers Congeneric mergers Also known as concentric merger is a twisted version of the horizontal merger. In these acquisition types, the two firms have separate service and product lines but they serve the same industry. This alignment between these companies creates a synergy where they become a bigger firm with combined abilities. An example of this merger type can be seen in the acquisition of E*Trade by Morgan Stanley. Reverse takeover SPAC-Merger It is one of the lesser seen mergers in the business world. Here, a private company acquires a public firm to gain an upper hand when going public. This merger type prevents them from taking the costly IPO route. This can also happen when a public company acquires a private firm. An example of reverse takeover can be seen in the acquisition of the US Airways by the America West. Acqui-hire Acqui hiring We are living in a period where big companies are making their mark with the help of their intellectual properties and talent. Acqui-hire is a merger type where a company acquires another firm purely to get control over their talent. This type is most commonly seen in the technology industry where there is usually a shortage of good developers. One example of this can be seen in the acquisition of Drop.io by Facebook. So here were the eight different types of merger and acquisition most active in the business world today. We hope you must have gotten an idea of which would be the best route for your business as you look to expand.

It will ensure the firm will gain an economic profit and will eventually drive off the weaker firm and the price benifit will go to consumers. (Term cartel is used when similar businesses merge to form a single business, a monopoly).

How does Nike's website help the company strengthen its relationships with its stakeholders?
I assume you mean shareholders. Nike's website is not exclusively there to strengthen bonds with their shareholders. It is an advertising tool, to get people to buy their products. Since shareholders are already invested, they do not market the site to the shareholders. This is not to say that a shareholder cannot access the website and gain a better sense of security by looking at the way Nike deals with its advertising, etc. Its just not specifically there for that purpose. Nike elicits different methods for shareholders.

What is difference between a takeover and acquisition?
In a general sense, mergers and takeovers (or acquisitions) are very similar corporate actions - they combine two previously separate firms into a single legal entity. Significant operational advantages can be obtained when two firms are combined and, in fact, the goal of most mergers and acquisitions is to improve company performance and shareholder value over the long-term.The motivation to pursue a merger or acquisition can be considerable; a company that combines itself with another can experience boosted economies of scale, greater sales revenue and market share in its market, broadened diversification and increased tax efficiency. However, the underlying business rationale and financing methodology for mergers and takeovers are substantially different.A merger involves the mutual decision of two companies to combine and become one entity; it can be seen as a decision made by two "equals". The combined business, through structural and operational advantages secured by the merger, can cut costs and increase profits, boosting shareholder values for both groups of shareholders. A typical merger, in other words, involves two relatively equal companies, which combine to become one legal entity with the goal of producing a company that is worth more than the sum of its parts. In a merger of two corporations, the shareholders usually have their shares in the old company exchanged for an equal number of shares in the merged entity. For example, back in 1998, American Automaker, Chrysler Corp. merged with German Automaker, Daimler Benz to form DaimlerChrysler. This has all the makings of a merger of equals as the chairmen in both organizations became joint-leaders in the new organization. The merger was thought to be quite beneficial to both companies as it gave Chrysler an opportunity to reach more European markets and Daimler Benz would gain a greater presense in North America.A takeover, or acquisition, on the other hand, is characterized by the purchase of a smaller company by a much larger one. This combination of "unequals" can produce the same benefits as a merger, but it does not necessarily have to be a mutual decision. A larger company can initiate a hostile takeover of a smaller firm, which essentially amounts to buying the company in the face of resistance from the smaller company's management. Unlike in a merger, in an acquisition, the acquiring firm usually offers a cash price per share to the target firm's shareholders or the acquiring firm's share's to the shareholders of the target firm according to a specified conversion ratio. Either way, the purchasing company essentially finances the purchase of the target company, buying it outright for its shareholders. An example of an acquisition would be how the Walt Disney Corporation bought Pixar Animation Studios in 2006. In this case, this takeover was friendly, as Pixar's shareholders all approved the decision to be acquired.Target companies can employ a number of tactics to defend themselves against an unwanted hostile takeovers, such as including covenants in their bond issues that force early debt repayment at premium prices if the firm is taken over.
