In an Acquisition, one company subsumes another by acquiring a significant percentage of its assets, liabilities, and securities.
The acquisition of specific assets, such as equipment, property, or intellectual property, from another company rather than acquiring the entire company.
This entails selling part of a company's assets or business division to another company. It may either be a sell-off( sale of assets to another company), a spin-off (sale of a unit/ department to another company), or a split-up (a company devolving into multiple entities and ceasing to exist).
This is a strategic partnership between two or more companies combined to achieve specific business objectives and share resources, risks, and rewards.
