Vertical integration

We develop a theoretical real options model and explore the trade-off between vertical integration and external procurement. In contrast to transaction cost theory, we show that higher volatility in the downstream market reduces the likelihood to switch to internal production. We also analyse the de...

Descrição
Resumo:We develop a theoretical real options model and explore the trade-off between vertical integration and external procurement. In contrast to transaction cost theory, we show that higher volatility in the downstream market reduces the likelihood to switch to internal production. We also analyse the decision to acquire the supplier and provide novel predictions on the acquisition likelihood and premium contributing to studies relating to vertical M&As.
