Conteúdo: | VI is a structural variable that changes slowly over time, although VI by an individual firm can change quickly and be larger or smaller than the industry average. The extent of vertical integration is directly influenced by the acceptability, or lack thereof, of external exchange mechanisms such as the spot market or contracting. If external  exchange performs in an acceptable manner, a firm's managerial expertise and investment money can be used to expand horizontally and/or conglomerately. Vertical integration in the agricultural and food marketing system will increase over the next decade; backward integration by retailers will decrease slightly. Retailers will continue to expand horizontally if the regulation environment for horizontal mergers continues to be favorable. The factors that will heve the most influence on VI in the vertical system include increasing (a) concentration, (b) capital intensity, (c) flow economies, (d) number of inputs and outputs per firm, (e) economies of scope, (f) firm size, and (g) future demand.
