Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A vertical merger involves the combination of firms that operate in different stages of the production process, such as a company that produces raw materials merging with a company that processes those materials into finished products. This type of merger can improve the integration of production activities and increase control over the supply of inputs, as the merged firm would have greater control over the entire production process.
