Transformational acquisition
Transformational acquisition is an acquisition of a company or a division of it with the aim to jointly establish a new business model or to enrich the offer for its customers by different expertise and new solutions. This may be different production technologies or new capacity.[1]
This definition is used in recent years only, but a significant number of mergers & acquisitions allocate their transaction to this type.[2][3][4][5]
