Inhaltsangabe: Summary: M&A transactions and corporate change are frequent occurrences in the globalized economies of today (c.f. section External growth and communication as global trends, page 1). On a global scale, led by the U.S., the European Union and Germany, M&A transactions have clearly become a global mega trend.
