Besanko, David Dranove and Mark Shanley (2000), explain that the benefits of horizontal integration are in economies of scale when a merger takes place between firms producing the same kinds of products, and in synergies such as economies of scope in case of a merger between firms whose products have little or nothing in common with each other."More papers on Horizontal Expansion in Business:
