A Take-over is the acquisition of control of one company by another or occasionally by an individual or group of investors. Take-overs are usually instituted by purchasing shares at a "premium" over existing prices and may be financed in a variety of ways including cash payment and/or with shares of the acquiring company.

Like enterprises, enterprise groups may have many kinds of intergroup relations and integrate their operations partly or totally. Two (or more) enterprise groups may integrate entirely and become one group. In this process either both groups involved may lose their identity, because they are dissolved beyond recognition in the new organisation, or one group may remain largely the same. In the latter case the other group is generally much smaller; it is merely absorbed by the larger group, which remains largely the same. If one of them keeps its identity, it is called a take-over.

Enterprises may integrate to the extent that the number of existing enterprises is reduced. If two enterprises integrate entirely, one of the enterprises may remain largely the same. In this case the other enterprise is generally much smaller, it is merely absorbed by the larger enterprise, which remains the same. If one of the enterprises keeps its identity, the event is called a take-over. Enterprises taken over are not considered to be real deaths. In this case, one of the original enterprises does survive in a recognisable form, and therefore there is both continuity and survival. The remaining original enterprises are closed. This event can be seen as the opposite of a split-off.
