They are often used interchangeably but they are not the same. Essentially when a company takes over another and establishes itself as the new owner, this is an acquisition. Mergers occur when two companies of approximately the same size join forces to move forward as a new, single entity. Consolidation occurs when one entity is formed by combining core businesses and abandoning the old corporate structures that can exist from the previous entities. Tender offers is when one company offers to purchase the outstanding stock of a firm at a specific price, rather than at market price.
