Corporation Merger
The most common kind of consolidation today is the merger. A merger occurs when two or more companies get together to from one company
With the deregulation of natural gas, the nation’s 20 interstate pipeline companies became fearful of cutthroat competition. Some felt that they could increase their efficiency and improve their market flexibility by merging. In 1985 Internorth of Omaha paid $ 2, 3 billion for Houston Natural Gas Corporation, (8) .

It involved such giants as United States Steel and Standard Oil trying to create monopolies in their industries. From the end of World War I until the 1930s, large firms swallowed smaller firms to create oligopolies. The monopoly has no chance and the oligopoly little chance of succeeding today under present antitrust policy.

Many of the acquisitions involved giant firms in one industry buying up large companies in totally unrelated industries. Such mergers are called conglomerate mergers. A classic example is Mobil Oil Corporation’s purchase of the huge retail chain Montgomery Ward & Company.
Mergers in the last ten years were in the thousands. More important is the value of the transactions, which has risen sharply. The number of mergers and acquisitions apply (11) . The petroleum industry had mergers and acquisitions valued at closed to $80 billion between 1981 and 1984. Other industries (12) were banking and finance, insurance, mining and mineral, and processed foods.
