A new series of resources aimed at assisting teachers with the delivery of the Edexcel A Level Business specification. This resource specifically looks at topic 3.2.2. Mergers and Takeovers. This PowerPoint presentation looks at the reasons for mergers and takeovers and the distinctions between them. It also provides an assessment of both horizontal and vertical integration, before considering the risks, rewards and problems associated with mergers and takeovers, including the issue of rapid growth. The slides contain several activities with suggested answers including the Quick Fire Five and a 10 mark practice question. The clear and well-presented nature of the slides are aimed at helping students to understand the topics with each topic analysed to provide a balanced assessment of the theory.
