Mergers and Acquisitions happen when two or more organizations merge their operations either partially or completely together. Acquisition in a broad sense means the takeover of one company by another, when the businesses of both the companies are brought together as one. 

In a narrow sense, it is the coming together of two companies which are equal in size. In full acquisition, the entire share capital is purchased by the acquirer. In partial acquisition, only a part of the share capital, i.e., more than 10% but less than 50% is obtained by the acquirer. A joint venture is a type of partnership business where two or more organizations invest cash or assets in a particular project or business. 

The partners or the people who invest can form a separate company for this purpose according to their investment ratio. Here, the organizations involved do not buy each other’s stock. The organizations had similar interests and the main purpose is to create a strategic alliance between them.
