1. Synergy: Looking for synergy in order to improve performance and reduce cost. Moreover, an entity in order to merge with another entity is looking for complementary strengths and weaknesses.

2. Diversification: Diversify in unrelated business/segments. In that case, entity will be looking at market leader in that particular business/segments in order to penetrate the market and become market leader.

3. Growth: Merger can give an entity a respectable market share without putting much an effort into it. Instead of buying a competitor´s business for a fair price.

4. Eliminate Competition: Increasing market share by acquiring competitors business in its segments. However, this requires convincing the target company shareholders for possible benefits from the deal.
