An
outstanding feature of modern industry is business
combinations. In almost every sphere of business
activity, some from of combination exists between different units. The term combination has been derived from "combine" which mean joining together. In the word of Haney.
"To combine is
simply to become common
purpose." A business combination occurs when two or more business firms
co-operate with one another formally or
informally for the purpose of
attaining some common objective, e.g., to
stabilise price and increase profits. A
business combination is a
compound combination as
against partnership,
companies and corporations which are "simple combinations" of natural persons.
McGregor has defined an
industrial combination as "a method of economic
organisation by which a common control of greater or less completeness is exercised over a number of firms which either have
operated hitherto or cloud operate,
independently, This control may be either
temporary or permanent, for all or only for some purposes." According to
Dr. kothari "combination by whatever name called, refers to any
informal or formal combination of two or more industrial units, producing similar or
different articles or engaged in the successive processes of
manufacturing of an article with a view to earn
maximum profit on the capital
employed."
