What is the difference between vertical and horizontal stuff in corporate technology language.?

Question

Some thing such as 'vertical organisation' and stuff like that... ??

Answer 1

Well when you use "vertical" and "horizontal", you're usually referring to the chain in a business.

For example:
When an agriculture corporation is vertically integrated, it is involved in more than one phase of meat production. Many of these big businesses have their own feedlots, slaughterhouses, meatpacking plants, and distributors, so they have complete control over the lives and deaths of the animals they raise.

But when an agricultural corporation is horizontally integrated, it means that they only handle one phase of the meat production.
