Horizontal
integration
Horizontal integration is a stage where a company is
ready to expand. They do this by increasing production of goods also the
service in regards to the supply chain. This can be done internally via
acquisition or merger.
A good example of horizontal integration is Facebook's
acquisition of Instagram in 2012 for a reported $1 billion. Both Facebook and
Instagram operated in the same industry and were in similar production stages
in regard to their photo-sharing services. Facebook, looking to strengthen its position
in the social media and social sharing space, saw the acquisition of Instagram
as an opportunity to grow its market share, increase its product line, and
reduce competition and access potential new markets. All of these things came
to pass, resulting in a high level of synergy.
