VERTICAL INTEGRATION

Integration in English” by Andrew c is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0

an arrangement in which a company owns its own supply chain , as opposed to a more typical arrange-ment in which each member of the supply chain produces a different product or (market-specific) service, and the products or services combine to meet a market need.

Pros

Can be a powerful market transformational force

Cons

Can be inflexible

Real Talk
