What are the Advantages and disadvantages of mergers and acquisition?
Acquisitions can help you quickly grow your business by adding new customers, capabilities, and other relationships, etc. very quickly vs. organic growth. That said, acquisitions require cash, time to find target acquisition companies, and legal work to structure the deal as well as effort for integrating the acquired business. Acquisitions can make a lot of sense, but they are not something to pursue without clearly thinking through why it might make sense and all your options to reach your growth goals.

What value does training bring to a business?
I think when you you train or when people are trained quality of products is improved. It's also a way to motivate workers. I think training is invaluable. First of all it allows a company to improve it's staff easily, quickly and usually economically. Rather than having to hire new workers each time a new skill is needed - the existing workers, those familiar with the business, can be trained or retrained in the needed information. Secondly, training can be used as a perk - telling the employee that they are valued enough to be sent out of the office for a day or so to learn a new skill - one that will improve them and help their company. A company that does little or no training is refusing to change with the times and will most likely be swept up by the competition. We live in such a changing world that we must train, retrain or become obsolete.

What is Efficiency theory of merger and acquisition?
The theory of efficiency suggests that mergers will only occur when they are expected to generate enough realizable synergies to make the deal beneficial to both parties; it is the symmetric expectations of gains which results in a 'friendly' merger being proposed and accepted. If the gain in value to the target was not positive, it is suggested, the target firm's owners would not sell or submit to the acquisition, and if the gains were negative to the bidders' owners, the bidder would not complete the deal. Hence, if we observe a merger deal, efficiency theory predicts value creation with positive returns to both the acquirer and the target.

Why do leveraged buyouts occur?
There were two "phases" to the Leveraged Buyout craze, and they happened at different times.
The first phase was company founders trying to get out of their businesses. Three Bear Stearns bankers (Jerome Kohlberg, Henry Kravis and George Roberts--these were the men who later founded Kohlberg, Kravis and Roberts or KKR) named their specialty "bootstrap investments." A man who started a small company in his younger days, kept it small and didn't have any descendants who would want to take the company over, but who didn't want to sell it to a competitor (or who didn't have a competitor who wanted it) might want a bootstrap deal. Kohlberg's team would raise money by selling bonds, buy the company then either find another buyer, integrate it into another company or sell off the assets and close it.
The second phase was done to make the bankers rich. It started in 1983. In 1982, William Simon--Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford's treasury secretary--gathered a group of investors. They pooled about $1 million of their own money, sold $79 million in bonds, and bought a greeting-card company called Gibson Greetings. In 1983, after holding the company for 16 months, they sold the company in a $290 million IPO--leaving William Simon with a profit of $66 million. The financial world went into Merger and Acquisition mode.
It was in this second phase that the "hostile" buyout occurred. Kohlberg's bootstrap deals were done with companies that wanted to be purchased. A hostile deal is done when a company does NOT want to be purchased, but rather is bought out from under the owners.

How do hotel chains build a brand image?
Like any other product, hotel accomadations, need to have a uniformity; the most obvious is a visually recognisable architecture. They also, try to provide similar room sizes, prices, and designs, across their entire geographic footprint. Itis like buying a big mac, customers go to large chain distributors/service providers, because they do not like surprises. It is a sad reflection on humanity but, we are not very adaptable, evolution has passed us by. Also hotel chains will try to advertise in certain types of media, so as to appeal to their target clientel. This is again directed to establish a price range and type of patron, (no rifraff please). Not being a hotelier, this is all I can give.
