Q. 24  Vertical integration is said to take CBSE Unit 1 Page 14 4
place when an organization at one
level in the chain of distribution
unites with one at another level.
 This integration can be forward (or
downward in the direction of the
chain) such as in the case where a
tour operator buys its own chain of
travel agents, or it can be
backward (or upward against the
direction of the chain) such as in
the case where the tour operator
buys its own airline.

have the necessary capital to buy
businesses further down the chain
of distribution which require less
capital investment. For example
even the largest travel agency
chain would be unlikely to have
the capital needed to form its own
