Acquisition meaning in Nepali
तपाईंले भन्नुभएको जस्तै, जब एउटा ठूलो वा शक्तिशाली कम्पनीले अर्को कम्पनीको स्वामित्व (Ownership) खरिद गर्छ, त्यसलाई Acquisition भनिन्छ। यसले कम्पनीलाई छोटो समयमै आफ्नो सञ्जाल विस्तार गर्न मद्दत गर्छ।
यस प्रक्रियाका केही मुख्य पक्षहरू तल दिइएका छन्:
अधिग्रहण (Acquisition) का मुख्य कारणहरू:
बजार विस्तार (Market Expansion): नयाँ ठाउँ वा नयाँ ग्राहकसम्म छिटो पुग्न। जस्तै: भाटभटेनीले काठमाडौंका स्थानीय पसलहरू किन्दा उसले ती पसलका पुराना ग्राहकहरूलाई पनि स्वतः प्राप्त गर्छ।
प्रतिस्पर्धा कम गर्न (Reducing Competition): बजारमा आफ्नो प्रतिस्पर्धीलाई नै किनेर आफ्नो वर्चस्व कायम गर्न।
नयाँ प्रविधि वा सीप (New Technology/Skills): कहिलेकाहीँ कम्पनीले आफूसँग नभएको प्रविधि वा दक्ष जनशक्ति पाउन अर्को सानो ‘स्टार्टअप’ कम्पनी किन्ने गर्छ।
लागत घटाउन (Cost Efficiency): ठूलो परिमाणमा काम गर्दा सामान ढुवानी र खरिद सस्तो पर्न जान्छ।
