Consider what you’ve read and learned about Corporate-level strategies and how it can help an organization grow either horizontally or vertically in an attempt to maximize its long-term profitability.

Peruse the recent business news pages and stories and find a story that exemplifies either  horizontal or corporate corporate growth (provide a link to the article).  Examples may include an acquisition, merger, joint venture or perhaps either forward or backward integration.  Then discuss what you feel is the most significant "pro" (opportunity) this step taken provides the organization and what risk(s) the organization is facing by making this step.
