vertical competition

Read a random definition: free bench

A quick definition of vertical competition:

Vertical competition is when companies compete with each other at different stages of making a product. For example, a company that makes car parts might compete with another company that makes cars. This type of competition is called "vertical" because it happens up and down the supply chain.

A more thorough explanation:

Vertical competition refers to the competition between companies that operate at different levels of the same supply chain. This means that companies that are involved in the production, distribution, and sale of a product or service compete with each other.

For example, a car manufacturer competes with other car manufacturers, but it also competes with suppliers of car parts, dealerships that sell its cars, and even companies that provide financing for car purchases.

Another example is a clothing retailer that competes with other retailers, but also with clothing manufacturers, textile suppliers, and even shipping companies that transport the clothing to the retailer's stores.

These examples illustrate how companies that operate at different levels of the same supply chain can compete with each other. Vertical competition can be intense because companies are competing for the same customers and profits.

@InsipidLemon: really depends on how much they like you. Some schools will give it to you unsolicited, others you must ask.

i have a question about my personal statement. in my activism for the hospitality workers' union, i organized and spoke up in favor of stronger regulations on airbnb because the unregulated spread of airbnb throughout LA was inflating housing costs for workers and threatening their job security. do you think it's too divisive to mention regulating airbnb? idk

I'm sure you'll get a full ride to a few schools :P

The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie
11:18
Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)
11:19
That school’s* culture
