Italian term

l\'integrazione tra due società

Italian to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) company mergers
Without going giving in-depth details, the text to be translated indicates:

"operazione di fusione" tra due società
"integrazione tra le due società"

Presumably, each will continue to carry out its business as before, but the new organization (with board members from both companies) will work together on other projects.

Would "merger" be suitable in this case?

Discussion

ulvaferry (asker) Jul 17, 2016:
integrazione and fusione are used as synonyms
philgoddard Jul 17, 2016:
I would have thought it meant integration of the two companies, the same as merger/fusion. But it would be helpful to have the surrounding text, as I'm not clear whether integrazione and fusione are being contrasted or used as synonyms.

integration between two companies

If I am not mistaken, there are two questions in the body of this post: *fusione* is *merger*:
operazione di fusione tra due società: merger between two companies

Regarding the main question you posted, I would translate that phrase in the following way:
integrazione tra le due società: integration between the two companies


Integration Defined
Integration can be defined in general terms as the process of combining two companies into one entity at every level. Specifically, integration involves the synthesis of people into one corporate culture. http://www.tgcpinc.com/SiteData/doc/MergersAcquisitions-MBre...

incorporation of the two companies

The first is 'a merger operation' while the second could also use merger, though, I myself would also change the noun indicating the joining, which is another option among many you might find in a thesaurus, ie, unification, amalgamation, etc.
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : Your explanation is different to your answer.

disagree Giovanni Pizzati (X) : in the previous line, we che read OPERAZIONE DI FUSIONE tra due società, so it is a merging operation.

Italian term (edited): l'integrazione tra due società

consolidation between two companies

Possibly we are not touching on accounting group consolidation, but a new entity scenario.

'Consolidation also refers to the merger and acquisition of smaller companies into larger companies. A consolidation, however, differs from a merger in that the consolidated companies could also result in a new entity, whereas in a merger one company absorbs the other and remains in existence while the other is dissolved.'

Example sentence:

L'integrazione tra due grandi imprese che operano in settori differenti, che appartengono a rami di attività economica non collegati e in aree geografiche diverse

può essere accusata di violare i principi delle norme monopolistiche solamente a causa della sua dimensione.

Peer comment(s):

agree Giovanni Pizzati (X) : So, it means merging and union of common objectives.

Grazie! My understanding is a horizontal merger resulting in one single entity, prospectively with a new name, rather than a vertical merger by 'cleaning-pad absorption': a take-over by one company retaining its own form and name.

merging two companies

As you said, I think "merging" could be a suitable term here.
