EXAMPLES
CONGLOMERATION
conglomerate merger is a merger between firms that are
involved in totally unrelated business activities. These
mergers typically occur between firms within different
industries or firms located in different geographical
locations. There are two types of conglomerate mergers:
pure and mixed. Pure conglomerate mergers involve firms
with nothing in common, while mixed conglomerate
mergers involve firms that are looking for product
extensions or market extensions.
Air 21
Ayala Group, through its logistics arm AC
Logistics Holdings Corp., has completed its
acquisition of a 60 percent interest in Air21
Holdings Inc. for P6.06 billion, beefing up its
footprint in the e-commerce and logistics
space.

in Southeast Asia covering over 60
businesses. It is among the largest private
domestic banks in the country in terms of
assets and has a network of over 462
branches and 2,911 ATMs and ATM Go units

and most diversified conglomerates in the
Philippines by revenues and total assets, with

ADVANTAGES:
The advantages of conglomerate mergers have several
advantages: diversification, an expanded customer base, and
increased efficiency. Through diversification, the risk of loss
lessens. If one business sector performs poorly, other, better-
performing business units can compensate for the losses. This can
also be viewed as an investment opportunity for a company.
DISADVANTAGES:
The disadvantages of conglomerate integration is that often
associated with reward, it also carries risks. Diversification can
shift focus and resources away from core operations,
contributing to poor performance. If the acquiring firm is
inadequately experienced in the industry of the acquired firm,
the new firm is likely to develop ineffective corporate
governance policies, poor pricing structures, and an
inexperienced, underperforming workforce.
