What is another word for strategic buyout?
Pronunciation: [stɹətˈiːd͡ʒɪk bˈa͡ɪa͡ʊt] (IPA) 
A strategic buyout can also be described as an acquisition, merger, takeover, or integration. These terms all refer to the process of one company purchasing another, typically with the goal of expanding or streamlining operations. The goal of a strategic buyout can be to gain access to new markets, increase market share, eliminate competition, or simply acquire valuable assets. In some cases, a strategic buyout may be a hostile takeover, meaning the acquiring company makes a bid for the target company against its wishes. However, more often than not, strategic buyouts are negotiated and mutually beneficial for both parties involved.
