John D. Rockefeller gained control over most of the oil industry primarily through strategic business practices, including horizontal integration, where he acquired competing oil companies to eliminate competition. He founded Standard Oil in 1870, which efficiently refined oil and reduced costs, allowing him to undercut rivals. Additionally, Rockefeller used aggressive tactics, such as negotiating favorable rail shipping rates and creating a monopoly, to dominate the market. His innovative management techniques and focus on efficiency further solidified his control over the oil industry.
Andrew Carnegie employed a strategy of vertical integration to gain control of the steel industry. By acquiring all aspects of production, from raw material sourcing to transportation and manufacturing, he was able to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Additionally, Carnegie focused on innovative production techniques and invested in new technologies, which allowed him to produce steel at lower prices than competitors. This combination of vertical integration and innovation ultimately positioned Carnegie Steel as a dominant force in the industry.
