Vertical integration includes a company/business having not only one type of business but also the businesses needed for that business (like McDonalds not only owning restaurants but also buying farms that grow lettuce, tomatoes, wheat, cattle, etc.). horizontal integration includes a company/business buying up all the competitors businesses (McDonalds buying Burger King and Wendy's restaurants).
