the best reason for investing company resources in vertical integration (either forward or backward) is to
anygoal [31]

The greatest justification for firm resources being committed to vertical integration (either forward or backward) is to add considerably to a company's technological capabilities, strengthen the company's competitive position, and/or increase its profitability.

A family of financial indicators known as profitability ratios is used to evaluate a company's potential to create profits over time in relation to its revenue, operational expenses, balance sheet assets, or shareholders' equity using information from a particular point in time. Efficiency ratios, which take into account how successfully a company uses its resources internally to generate income, can be contrasted to profitability ratios (as opposed to after-cost profits). Most profitability ratios show the company's performance by showing a higher value as compared to that of a competitor or to the same ratio from a prior period. The most insightful comparisons of profitability ratios are those made with comparable businesses, the company's own past, or industry averages.
