hostile takeovers
type: Concept
definition: A hostile takeover is a corporate acquisition that is forcefully resisted by the target firm's top management and board of directors. Although they constitute less than 3 percent of all merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, hostile takeovers have long garnered a disproportionately large share of attention from the news media, the general public, and business scholars for many reasons.
