An acquisition is an action by a corporation to assume control of a target firm. This is done by buying either all or most of the target's ownership stakes. Acquisitions can either be friendly (the target firm agrees to be acquired) or hostile (the target firm does not agree and the acquirer has to buy large amounts of the target to assume control).
