Knights, squires and dawn raids?

What do they have to do with business?

If knights and squires make you think of Don Quixote, the Middle Ages, medieval castle fortresses and the language of chivalry, it's not surprising.  So where are the damsels in distress?  

Well, there aren't any damsels - at least not literally girls - but there may be companies in distress.  

With this article you can:

• read to find out more about mergers and takeovers, because that's what the words refer to here, and their effects on the staff, practise vocabulary and check your comprehension.
• listen to a radio programme where someone from a recently merged company gives his personal view, and check your general and detailed comprehension.
