One of the main trends of the 20th – early 21st centuries is establishment of integrated
business structures, which have a significant impact on the economies
of both individual States and the world economy as a whole. During the development
of integrated business structures (IBS) a significant number of their varied
forms had emerged, including: trusts, pools, syndicates, cartels, industrial
complexes, associations, alliances, conglomerates, consortia, corporations,
strategic alliances, financial-industrial groups, creative manager corporations,
strategic families, technology parks, etc. We want to draw attention to the fact
that the number of forms of IBS is not permanent. The existing forms are developed
along with further development of economy. Despite the significant
amount of scientific literature, aimed at consideration of forms of IBS, a definite
answer to the question: which one of them under what conditions and at what
time would be advisable to unite with, or which one of them would be the most
competitive, – is missing. In this connection, the above characteristics of the
organizational forms of IBS are of importance and require further research.
