Backward Integration

0.01 sec.

A business model whereby a company takes direct control of how its products are supplied. For example, a company may buy another company that previously supplied its raw material. That is, a butcher may own a ranch so that he does not have to buy slaughtered animals from an outside ranch. Alternatively, backward integration may involve the butcher buying the outside ranch. See also: Forward Integration.
