Joint Venture & Merger

A joint venture (JV) is a business arrangement where businesses collaborate on a specific goal. They share resources, risks and rewards while keeping their independent legal status and existing operations. JVs are often temporary and dissolve after the goal is met. Control and resources, including finances, technology and skills, are shared. JVs are generally more flexible and less complex to reverse than mergers. For example, Sony and Honda formed a JV to develop electric vehicles by combining their respective expertise in India.

A merger is a permanent union where two companies combine to form a single entity. The original companies cease to exist independently and their assets, liabilities and operations are fully integrated. This results in unified control under a single leadership structure and a single corporate culture. Mergers are often used to increase market share and achieve economies of scale. For instance, Exxon and Mobil merged in 1998 to form ExxonMobil.
