Why did BHP and Billiton merge?

Home More advice Jobs & Money

i am doing some research in preperation for my end of year business management unit 3+4 exam, and am looking at examples of mergers.

i would like to know if anyone knows reasons for the merger between Australia's Broken Hill Proprietary Company (BHP) and the UK's Billiton. additional information on outcomes resulting from the merger may help aswell, such as what has been gained or lost from the merger etc.

thanks.
