Why do companies merge?
Companies merge for many reason , companies merge when they are woth more together than apart.. some do to cut costs i.e in vertical integration when a corp. merges with either its supplier or consumer .. others merge for growth and market power and to eliminate competition.. these mainly merge with their competitors to create more power in the markets i.e AT&T and Bell South both are Telecom companies. its not the best idea, but actually some companies merge to diversify, like acquiring another company in a seemingly unrelated industry in order to reduce the impact of a particular industry's performance on its profitability.

What happens with free enterprise?
Not very well. The essence of the free enterprise system is that different entrepreneurs will compete on a level playing field and that the customer will select the business that is providing the best product and service and that business will succeed . . . until another competitor comes along. It doesn't work in the US because of a number of factors which inhibit competition and tend toward monopolies: 1. Larger corporations are given tax breaks by the government which smaller ones do not get and so the smaller ones cannot compete. 2. Larger corporations are able to use the economics of scale to swallow up potential competitors. They can undercut prices and drive small businesses bankrupt, or force them to merge because the big corporations have much larger reserves of money. 3. Larger corporations are able to bribe politicians (this is called lobbying) into passing laws which accomodate the larger corporations' agendas, thus enabling them to become larger and more powerful. 4. Finally, the idea that unsuccessful businesses fail, a cornerstone of free enterprise, does not apply to large businesses which are considered "too big to fail" and which are given government bailout money no matter how ineptly they are administered. In other words the US economy is resembling more and more the economy of Soviet Russia, except that instead of inefficient monopolistic industries being run by the government, they are running the government.
How did trust and mergers hurt competition?

Is the extra space in front of a large truck needed for other drivers when merging onto a freeway?
You should never merge into the area that makes up a vehicle's safe stopping distance. Trucks need a larger distance than a car to stop, so a larger distance should be left in front of them when merging.

What should you do when you find two questions that should be merged?
If you are a contributor, you can suggest a merge by selecting the improper question, or if it's just an alternate wording with no errors: the one with the poor answer or no answer, and click edit for the question wording. Erase its wording and paste the wording of the other question and click save. It will ask if you want to merge, click yes. This will send a merge request. If you do not wish to do that, you can sent the links of the questions to a Supervisor. If you are a Supervisor, use your merge tool and merge them. The option of merging should be found in your blue sidebar. Select the one with improper wording, or if they both contain no errors, chose the one with no answer (if one has a bad answer then delete it), click merge, and copy and paste the other question into the second white box and click merge. You can also edit the one you want to merge and put in the wording of the other question into the box and click save. It will give you an option to merge the two.
