Consolidation

Definition 1 The combining of separate companies, functional areas, or product lines, into a Single one. Differs from a Merger in that a new entity is created in the Consolidation. Definition 2 The process of maturation in some markets whereby smaller companies are acquired or run out of business, leaving only a few dominant players; here also called Shakeout.
