By The top level of this vertical integration is the “who” of the organization. The “who” is the “what” of the organization in its specific, unique role within the organization. The “who” is the “what” of the “what”.
The who has the how of the organization in it’s specific, unique role in the organization. The how is the what of the what.
Vertical integration is great in that it’s a very effective way to ensure that a function is fulfilled at the lowest possible level possible, thus reducing the number of hands required. The problem, however, with vertical integration is that it’s so much easier to get it wrong. We’ve all seen the disastrous results of the failed vertical integration of different departments within the same company. In fact, we’ve seen the disastrous results of a failed vertical integration.
This is precisely why vertical integration can fail. Vertical integration is a very effective way to ensure that a function is fulfilled at the lowest possible level possible, thus reducing the number of hands required. The problem, however, is that it is so much easier to get it wrong. We all know the problem with the vertical integration of different departments within the same company. We all know the problem with the vertical integration of different departments within the same company.
The problem is that the people making those decisions have no idea what the end game is. They don’t have a clue what the vision is for the company, or where they’re going with it, or what it is they want to build. What they have, instead, is a bunch of moving parts that they’re trying to put together in a way that is going to work or not work.
In the case of a vertical integration of different departments within the same company, the end game is a great one. Instead of having 50 different departments that have different departments within them, we might have one department that takes care of one department, and the other takes care of one or two other departments. If we take that one department and just make it a department that is responsible for a few departments, then it makes sense because that then makes it easier to coordinate those departments.
One of the advantages of vertical integration is that it allows you to think on your feet and say, “Hey, I can do this!” and do it exactly as you would do if you had a department that was just a part of a single corporation. This allows you to think in terms of separate departments and so on.
We can also add a few more departments and make it all run like a single big happy family. This is how it’s actually done in real life. For example, when you have a company that has three divisions (manufacturing, sales, and marketing), then each division is made up of many separate departments. For example, sales is made up of sales managers, sales accountants, sales assistants, sales analysts, sales consultants, and so on.
