What do you think about the big companies merging into one another?

Question

I am no good at economics, so I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

It looks like the big companies are so busy merging each other, that there will be only a couple of them left in the future.

What will the merge do in the long run? And what are the good and bad things about the merging?

Also, does it mean that this makes the less jobs avaliable in the future?

Thanks.

Answer 1

M&A is process of restructuring corporates - benefits to stake holders.

Answer 2

Merging companies represent POWER and PROFITS that is why they merge!!! The people get to pay more for their goods and services!!! I don't like it but that's BUSINESS!
