A bear hug is a type of strategy in business mergers and acquisitions where an acquiring company makes a very strong or irresistible takeover offer to the target company. This offer is typically far above market value to make it almost impossible for the target company to refuse. Alternatively, in non-business context, a bear hug refers to a close, heartwarming and usually powerful embrace, similar to the manner in which a bear might hug with its strong forelimbs.
