1. Craft your own concept about “Market Integration”.

- a situation in which separate markets for the same product become one single
market, for example when an import tax in one of the markets is removed: It
has long been recognized that market integration is far more efficient than
firm integration.

2. What are the types of market integration? Differentiate and discuss each type
Backward vertical integration -This involves acquiring a business operating
earlier in the supply chain – e.g. a retailer buys a wholesaler, a brewer buys
a hop farm
Conglomerate integration - This involves the combination of firms that are
involved in unrelated business activities
Forward vertical integration - This involves acquiring a business further up
in the supply chain – e.g. a vehicle manufacturer buys a car parts distributor
Horizontal integration - Here, businesses in the same industry and which
operate at the same stage of the production process are combined.
3. Write the role of the two international financial institutions in the creation of global
economy.

The international financial bodies have to play the role of changing market
positions. The traditional objectives of some of these institutions such as the World
Bank and the IMF entail elevation of poverty in developing countries, enhancing
measures that promote economic growth and protection of the environment.
