Neither statement is true. Only statement I is true. 2) Which of the following statements is true? 1. When a company is involved in more than one activity in the entire value chain, it is vertically integrated. II. A vertically integrated company is less dependent on its suppliers than a company that is not vertically integrated. III.

None of the statements are true. All of the statements are true. Only statement Ill is true. Only statement I is true.
