Problem
Draw the vertical value chain for your firm's industry. List the major firms in each important activity along the chain. Note that a firm's name may appear multiple times in the value chain. This indicates some level of vertical integration by the firm. If your firm is in many different industries (e.g., GE), then choose the dominant industry or the one that intrigues you the most and use only that one for this analysis.
Are any of the vertical value chain operations offshored? If so, list some of the pros and cons of having this part of the value chain outside the home country.
