When we look at valuing a company, we take many factors into consideration. If a company has acquired a firm or merged this will ultimately affect the valuation. Mergers and acquisitions can add value if it was successful.

1. Evaluate the concept of mergers and acquisitions and how they can add value to a firm. Include real life examples of value creation through M&As.
2. Suggest why companies merge and acquire and discuss your reasons in detail.
3. Evaluate the role and importance of confidentiality agreements/non-disclosure agreements in M&A negotiations.
