The issue of the hostile takeover is always on the news. In fact, it is very difficult to recognize, whether companies merge, takeover one another or the deal can or should be considered to be an acquisition. This paper investigates this issue in depth, analyses the industrial evidence and make a conclusion on whether hostile takeover are "good or bad" thing to happen, its effect on the industry as a whole, origin, rational and background. It was decided to analyse the industry news and studies concluded on the topic. Furthermore, consider the theory base and apply it to the actual facts. The depth of analysis demanded to use various types of information for such as Blumberg computer system, Internet (news, articles, and studies/researches) in order to back the study with real life situations, facts and numeric base. Textbooks were used for theoretical base and cross check of different views and suggestions. Excellent paper.
