    Mergers take place at any time a organization is bought with the objective of combining it with another organization to create a greater enterprise. Acquisitions take place when a organization is acquired by a different organization. Acquisitions include buying the enterprise with cash, stocks, or a combination of the two. Acquisitions can also happen when a organization buys the assets of another organization.
