Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) can eliminate competition for a company by allowing it to acquire its competitors, thus removing them from the market. This not only reduces the number of competitors but also allows the acquiring company to gain control over the competitor's resources, technology, and customer base. Additionally, M&A can help a company to expand its market presence and diversify its product offerings, making it more difficult for other competitors to compete. Examples of this strategy can be seen in companies like Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Cisco, which have used M&A to grow and maintain their market dominance.
