In my opinion, taking over Top Oil costs a lot of money and it might worth the cost since Irving Oil tried to buy it. However, the change of ownership would have both positive and negative effects on people who are related to either company, Irving Oil and Top Oil, mostly on Top Oil. For example, people working for Top Oil could have lose their job after taking over. However, Irving Oil could influence the economy of the area by buying Top Oil. I learned that economy is complicate and involves many companies. Furthermore, there is no secret.
