    Ansoff is best used when you are trying to increase profits: increase market share, develop new products or new markets, or diversification.

    Vertical = take over a supplier or distribution company

    Unrelated = very radically different. Eg supermarket company taking over a road building company.

    Horizontal = taking over a company with which you can cooperate such as a car company taking over an insurance company.

    Related =vertical and horizontal
    Unrelated= conglomerate
