Definition: Concentration of enterprises

Category: Business demography

Concentration of enterprises refers to demographic events (mergers and take-overs) involving more than one enterprise before and one enterprise after the event. 

The term may also be used to denote that the population of enterprises gets fewer owners or is spread over a reduced number of enterprise groups. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/statmanuals/files/KS-RA-07-010-EN.pdf Eurostat, "Business Registers Recommendations Manual", 2010
