Use complete sentences!!! Pages 208-209 How did large companies, like the Pennsylvania Railroad, operate their business? What is a merger? What is Horizontal integration? Vertical Integration? How are the two similar? Different?

Carnegie vs. Rockefeller As we have just read, Carnegie and Rockefeller were two of the world’s most successful businessmen. They used different methods to create their industrial giants. With a partner, you will create a Venn Diagram. One person will read about Andrew Carnegie and the other will read about John D. Rockefeller. After both people are finished, you will discuss the similarities. Be ready to talk about this as a class!!!
