Horizontal and vertical intergration

Definition...The term horizontal integration describes a type of ownership and control. It is a strategy used by a business or corporation that seeks to sell a type of product in numerous markets.Horizontal integration in marketing is much more common than vertical integration is in production. Horizontal integration occurs when a company is being taken over by, or merged with, another company which is in the same industry and in the same stage of production as the merged company e.g a car manufacturer merging with another car manufacturer.
