In business, horizontal integration is a strategy where a company creates or acquires production units for outputs which are alike - either complementary or competitive. The acquisition of this additional business activity is at the same level of the value chain in similar or different industries. This can be achieved by internal or external expansion.

believes rivals will respond to a price reduction but will not follow a price 
increase and barriers to entry exist (Baye, 2012). Firms have an incentive not to change their pricing behavior, provided marginal costs remain in a given range.
Although this model has been criticized because it offers no explanation of how the industry settles on the initial price, it does show that strategic interactions among firms and a manager’s belief about rivals’ reactions…

Thalberg, who worked with Carl Laemmle in Universals prior to his job in MGM, became the hero of the company. Thalberg was the source of various great ideas, one of them was the “preview-retake” process during the filming of The Big Parade (1925).
