Book excerpt: Theoretical and empirical research in the past decades has advanced our understanding of what determines the vertical boundary of a firm. An equally important but much less understood issue is the impacts of vertical integration on firm performance, mainly because the decision on vertical integration is endogenously determined. In this paper, using a survey of China's manufacturing firms conducted by the World Bank, we establish the causal impacts of vertical integration on firm performance by adopting the instrumental variable approach to deal with the endogeneity issue. We find that the degree of vertical integration causes a negative impact on firm sales, market share and productivity, but a positive impact on firm product prices. Our results lend support to the extent of market argument in the literature, and they are consistent with the stated reasons for the divesture decisions of many business corporations.
Book Synopsis Factory Physics by : Wallace J. Hopp
Download or read book Factory Physics written by Wallace J. Hopp and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 751 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our economy and future way of life depend on how well American manufacturing managers adapt to the dynamic, globally competitive landscape and evolve their firms to keep pace. A major challenge is how to structure the firms environment so that it attains the speed and low cost of high-volume flow lines while retaining the flexibility and customization potential of a low-volume job shop. The books three parts are organized according to three categories of skills required by managers and engineers: basics, intuition, and synthesis. Part I reviews traditional operations management techniques and identifies the necessary components of the science of manufacturing. Part II presents the core concepts of the book, beginning with the structure of the science of manufacturing and a discussion of the systems approach to problem solving. Other topics include behavioral tendencies of manufacturing plants, push and pull production systems, the human element in operations management, and the relationship between quality and operations. Chapter conclusions include main points and observations framed as manufacturing laws. In Part III, the lessons of Part I and the laws of Part II are applied to address specific manufacturing management issues in detail. The authors compare and contrast common problems, including shop floor control, long-range aggregate planning, workforce planning and capacity management. A main focus in Part III is to help readers visualize how general concepts in Part II can be applied to specific problems. Written for both engineering and management students, the authors demonstrate the effectiveness of a rule-based and data driven approach to operations planning and control. They advance an organized framework from which to evaluate management practices and develop useful intuition about manufacturing systems.

Download or read book Surviving Supply Chain Integration written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-03-23 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The managed flow of goods and information from raw material to final sale also known as a "supply chain" affects everythingâ€"from the U.S. gross domestic product to where you can buy your jeans. The nature of a company's supply chain has a significant effect on its success or failureâ€"as in the success of Dell Computer's make-to-order system and the failure of General Motor's vertical integration during the 1998 United Auto Workers strike. Supply Chain Integration looks at this crucial component of business at a time when product design, manufacture, and delivery are changing radically and globally. This book explores the benefits of continuously improving the relationship between the firm, its suppliers, and its customers to ensure the highest added value. This book identifies the state-of-the-art developments that contribute to the success of vertical tiers of suppliers and relates these developments to the capabilities that small and medium-sized manufacturers must have to be viable participants in this system. Strategies for attaining these capabilities through manufacturing extension centers and other technical assistance providers at the national, state, and local level are suggested. This book identifies action steps for small and medium-sized manufacturersâ€"the "seed corn" of business start-up and developmentâ€"to improve supply chain management. The book examines supply chain models from consultant firms, universities, manufacturers, and associations. Topics include the roles of suppliers and other supply chain participants, the rise of outsourcing, the importance of information management, the natural tension between buyer and seller, sources of assistance to small and medium-sized firms, and a host of other issues. Supply Chain Integration will be of interest to industry policymakers, economists, researchers, business leaders, and forward-thinking executives.

Book Synopsis Strategic Aspects of Oligopolistic Vertical Integration by : C. Wu
Download or read book Strategic Aspects of Oligopolistic Vertical Integration written by C. Wu and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2017-12-28 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this text some fundamental issues concerning the strategic impact of vertical structures of firms are discussed in a successive oligopoly model. Vertical integration strategy has been identified as one of the key strategies which determine the success or failure of enterprises. Many studies on vertical integration are based on business experiences and interviews with managers. However, the extensive application of game theory in business economics allows this study on vertical integration to be based on sound theoretic ground. Moreover, the significance of public enterprises in some Western European economies and the trends of economic transition in Eastern Europe justify the efforts to analyse vertical integration issues in the mixed market, which is created by the participation of a public firm into an industry otherwise characterised as a successive oligopoly.

Book Synopsis Essays in Industrial Organization: The Effects of Vertical Integration on Prices and New Product Introduction by : Yutong Wang
Download or read book Essays in Industrial Organization: The Effects of Vertical Integration on Prices and New Product Introduction written by Yutong Wang and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three essays that study the effects of vertical integration in the field of industrial organization. The first chapter studies the effects of vertical integration on the vertically integrated company, specifically, the effects on prices and new product introduction. The second chapter studies the effects of vertical integration on the vertically integrated company's competitor. The third chapter studies the effects of vertical integration on the new product introduction in detail, and discusses the important policy implications. In the first chapter, I study the effects of vertical integration on the vertically integrated company, specifically, the effects on prices and new product introduction. Upstream and downstream companies both charge markups, and separated production generally incurs higher cost. Different incentives of upstream and downstream companies and high negotiation costs may impede new product introduction process. Vertical integration solves these problems. This chapter studies empirically the effects of vertical integration: whether it leads to a price decrease, which comes from synergy and the elimination of double marginalization; and whether it leads to more new products introduced to market, because it eases the new product introduction process. Specifically, this chapter studies the 2010 vertical integrations of the two largest soda companies, The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo, with their largest downstream bottlers, respectively, by using bottlers' territory maps together with prices and sales data. In this chapter, all carbonated soft drink master brands of The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo are included in the analysis. Results show that the vertical integrations lead to 0.3%-0.6% price decrease for products of The Coca-Cola Company and 1.4%-1.6% price decrease for products of PepsiCo; and they lead to more new products introduced to vertically integrated markets: annually 9%-10% more new products for The Coca-Cola Company, and 5%-8% more new products for PepsiCo. In the second chapter, I study the effects of vertical integration on the vertically integrated company's competitor, specifically, the effects on prices and new product introduction. The vertically integrated bottlers (Coca-Cola Enterprises, Pepsi Bottling Group and Pepsi Americas) bottled Dr Pepper's products both before and after the vertical integration. For Dr Pepper Snapple Group, its competitors, The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo, controlled its downstream bottlers after the vertical integrations. In the soda industry, the bottlers set the price of final products. Furthermore, if the upstream company wants to introduce a new product, it needs to negotiate with downstream bottlers for them to bottle and distribute the products. After the vertical integration, The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo have incentives to increase the price of the Dr Pepper's products so that consumers will substitute from Dr Pepper's products to Coca-Cola's and Pepsi Cola's products. Furthermore, when Dr Pepper wants to introduce a new product, The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo may impede this process, leading to fewer new products from Dr Pepper, which will be beneficial for The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo. Empirically, only products of three master brands, Coca-Cola, Pepsi Cola and Dr Pepper, are included in the analysis. Results show that the vertical integrations lead to 0.7%-1.0% price decrease for products of Coca-Cola, 1.4%-2.2% price decrease for products of Pepsi Cola, and 0.3%-0.7% price increase for products of Dr Pepper. For the new product introduction, vertical integrations lead to more new products for the vertically integrated company and fewer new products for the vertically integrated company's competitor: annually 12%-13% more new products of Coca-Cola, 10%-12% more new products of Pepsi Cola, and 9%-15% fewer new products of Dr Pepper. In the third chapter, I study more about these new products and about how vertical integration affects new product introduction process. Products are defined using six characteristics. For each new product, I find out what is the new characteristics of this product. For all the new products introduced before vertical integration, I draw the distribution of these new characteristics, and I do the same for all new products introduced after vertical integration. I then study how vertical integration affects the distribution of new characteristics. For the new products of the vertically integrated company, after vertical integration, the distribution of new characteristics shifts from less innovative characteristics to more innovative characteristics. That is to say, the new products introduced after vertical integration are more innovative. For the new products of the vertically integrated company's competitor, after vertical integration, the distribution of new characteristics shifts from more innovative characteristics to less innovative characteristics. That is to say, the new products introduced after vertical integration are less innovative. I also discuss the important policy implications in the third chapter. The effect of vertical integration on new product introduction has not drawn much attention in vertical merger reviews and evaluations. The results of this research show that the effect of vertical integration on new product introduction should be emphasized in anti-trust policies and their enforcement. This policy implication is very important, especially when many recent high-profile merger cases are vertical integrations, such as the AT&T and Time Warner merger, etc. And the recent development of anti-trust policies echoes the results of this research.
