You may have heard the term “vertical integration” bandied about in meetings or in online articles. What is it? Why should you care?
Simply put, vertical integration is an arrangement of a company’s supply chain. It typically occurs when an organization acquires control of two, or more, stages in the production (or distribution) of a product.
We’re all familiar with the recent disruptions to supply chains in the midst of the COVID pandemic, and the resulting empty shelves! Vertical integration is a strategy to minimize this sort of uncertainty.
