| A community with a high degree of horizontal integration is characterized by a tightly knit social network with relatively equal power distributions. |
| If we look at the environment, we see that nothing has come of the horizontal integration in this policy. |
| One could be inclined to adopt the view that institutionalisation of horizontal integration is not necessary. |
| However, the less doubt there is about horizontal integration, the more we should be questioning vertical integration. |
| Benefits of horizontal integration to both the firm and society may include economies of scale and economies of scope. |
| In industries with high fixed costs, horizontal integration enables firms to benefit from greater economies of scale. |
