In business, the acquisition by one company
of a sufficient number of shares in another
company to have effective control of that
company - usually 51%, although a controlling
stake may be as little as 30%. Takeovers may
be agreed or contested; methods employed
include the dawn raid, and methods of
avoiding an unwelcome takeover include
reverse takeover or inviting a white knight
to make a takeover bid.
