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.
