Ahoj,
Is it advantageous or disadvantageous to own an entire supply line. I don't know if my following example falls under Vertical Integration.
For example;
The fictional conglomerate Vanier Inc, owns and operates nursing homes. They also own and operate the company that builds the nursing homes. In addition to that they own the Building Materials Wholesaler that supplies the construction company. On top of that, they own and operate the lumber company that supplies the wholesaler.
Is this a viable business? Try as I may, I'm struggling to understand how the money goes through the supply line of companies. How do the three companies that supply the nursing home operator with buildings make any money if their sole purpose is producing buildings and the materials needed to build these buildings for the Nursing Home Operator?
I know that Oil and Gas companies operate their entire supply lines most of the time, but I still don't understand where the supplying companies make any money.
Any explanation is greatly appreciated!
