Equality vs. Control
Mergers are typically voluntary and involve two companies coming together as equals to create a new entity.
In a merger, a new entity is often created, combining resources and leadership.
Takeovers often involve one company gaining control over another, with the acquiring company having more influence or authority over the acquired company.
In a takeover, the acquired company may lose its independence, becoming part of the acquiring company’s existing structure.

A merger occurs when two companies agree to combine and form a new entity. Both companies involved in the merger typically operate as equals, and the merger is often seen as a mutually beneficial arrangement.

A takeover happens when one company acquires control of another company. In this scenario, the acquiring company (the one initiating the takeover) usually maintains its identity, while the acquired company may be absorbed into the acquirer's operations or continue to operate as a subsidiary.
