This paper aims to examine why companies consider mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and uses BP as a case study. BP is discussed in direct reference to their 2010 gulf of Mexico oil spill. The paper discusses why other oil companies would want to merge with, or take over BP. The paper provides the background to the company to begin with. This is followed by an analysis of reasons for M & A and their role in business strategy. The reasons discussed include obtaining assets, economies of scale and scope, eliminating a competitor, and the role of the government. Issues specific to BP are also discussed. Conclusions are made regarding the best solutions for BP and their competitors.
