Conglomerate is a merger between firms that are involved in totally unrelated business activities. A vertical merger is a merger between firms that exist in the same supply chain, while a horizontal merger is a merger between firms in the same industry.

Mergers can be classified into several types, including horizontal, vertical, and conglomerate mergers. A horizontal merger occurs between companies in the same industry at the same stage of production, such as the merger of two airlines like American Airlines and US Airways. A vertical merger involves companies at different stages of production within the same industry, such as a car manufacturer acquiring a parts supplier. Conglomerate mergers occur between companies in unrelated businesses, like the merger between Disney and Pixar, which brought together entertainment and animation but were not directly competitive.

What is the difference between horizontal merger and a vertical merger?

Horizontal Merger A horizontal merger is a merger between two competitors. Suppose, for example, that tomorrow Nokia were to buy Sony ericsson. This would be a horizontal merger. Vertical Merger A vertical merger occurs when a supplier buys a reseller, or vice versa. The key point is that the two companies have a buyer-seller relationship. Suppose that a food retailer purchased a company that manufactures food. This would be a vertical merger. Or, suppose that a pharmaceutical company acquired a drugstore chain. Vertical mergers are more likely to be approved by regulatory authorities. Consumers can benefit from the increased efficiencies that result from supply chain integration--- often in the form of lower prices and/or better service. Conglomerate Merger A conglomerate merger is a union of two companies that a.) are not competitors, and b.) not part of the same supply chain. If Oracle were to purchase a fast food chain, this would be a conglomerate merger. Software has no relationship to fast food; fast food has no connection to software (other than providing sustenance for programmers who work long hours.)
