Marlborough medical device maker Boston Scientific announced June 15 plans to buy a $230-million majority stake in a Korean manufacturer of endoscopic devices. Merger-and-acquisition activity typically slows as the national and global economies face significant headwinds, as companies get more conservative with their growth plans in anticipation of a downturn. A recession, if it does turn into that, can also cause an increase in M&A activity, as struggling companies can become acquisition targets.
