please help me

hello everybody, I would like anyone to teach me the differenece between takeover and buyout,

and the meaning of theses sentences: -ahead of the game

-all you wanted to do was your job

-for my money.

and what is meant by think the Office and think Yes Minister in the following context:

you also need to accept that as a manager you may be ridiculed - think the Office - derided as a manipulative obstructionist pen pusher - think Yes Minister - and possibly even judged by your staff, shareholders and\or the public to be ineffective and even superfluous to the carrying out of the actual job in hand.

The main difference is that a Takeover usually means acquire enough shares in company to have control over it ie more than 50%. A Buyout means to the accquire no less than 100% of the company. "all you wanted to do was your job" difficult to explain this without further context.

  • The main difference is that a Takeover usually means acquire enough shares in company to have control over it ie more than 50%.
  • A Buyout means to the accquire no less than 100% of the company.
  • "all you wanted to do was your job" difficult to explain this without further context.
  • "for my money", again, difficult to explain without further context.
  • "The office" & "Yes Minister" are both comedy programmes on UK television.
