32、common kind of consolidation today is the merger. A merger occurs when two or more companies get together to form one company. With the deregulation of natural gas, the nations 20 interstate pipeline companies became fearful of cut-throat competition. Some felt that they could increase their efficie
33、ncy and improve their market flexibility by merging. In 1985 Internorth of Omaha paid 2.3 billion for Houston Natural Gas Corporation, thereby gaining control of the worlds longest pipeline. The system connected markets from coast to coast and raised sales to 10 billion. On occasion, mergers have oc
34、curred between smaller companies in an industry dominated by a few giant firms. These smaller companies claim that they need to merge to become more efficient and effective.

35、has not always agreed with them. Four major waves of mergers have taken place in this country. The first started in 1887, just prior to the passage of the Sherman Antitrust Act, and ended in 1904. It involved such giants as United States Steel and Standard Oil trying to create monopolies in their in
36、dustries. From the end of World War I until the 1930s, large firms swallowed smaller firms to create oligopolies. The monopoly has no chance and the oligopoly little chance of succeeding today under present antitrust policy. The third major merger movement began in the 1960s, reached a peak in 1969,
37、 and then gradually declined. Many of the acquisitions involved giant firms in one industry buying up large companies in totally unrelated industries. Such mergers are called conglomerate mergers. A classic example is Mobil Oil Corporations purchase of the huge retail chain Montgomery Ward & Company
38、. Mergers in the last ten years were in the thousands. More important is the value of the transactions, which has risen sharply. The number of mergers and acquisitions apply only to those valued at 100 million or more. The petroleum industry had mergers and acquisitions valued at closed to 80 billio
