Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Backward compatibility refers to the ability of a new product or technology to be compatible with previous versions of the same product or technology, allowing consumers to still use the same games as before. Backward integration refers to a company expanding its operations by taking control of its suppliers, while backward linkage refers to the relationship between a company and its suppliers. Backward traceability refers to the ability to track a product or material's origins and history. None of these terms accurately describe Genetech's situation.
