Question

1) Name the term used when a company holds multiple positions on a supply chain

Answer 1

vertical integration

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical integration takes place when a company expands its supply chain either up or down. Upstream supply chain refers to a company's suppliers, e.g. a meat processing company that starts to buy cattle ranches would be vertically integrating its upstream supply chain. A company that opens retail stores would be vertically integrating its downstream supply chain.
