Conglomeration Definition

The distinction between the different kinds of company merger rests solely on the basis of the relationship between the products/services of the parties to the merger. A conglomerate merger is one that is neither horizontal nor vertical; the products of the acquiring and acquired firms are not competitive nor are they vertically related. A completely conglomerate merger produces a firm having a number of external markets equal to the sum of the pre-merger external markets of the acquiring and the acquired firms (Narver, 1967).
