Vertical integration is a strategy where a company owns different parts of the production process rather than outsourcing them. This allows them to streamline operations and reduce costs. The main advantages are lower transaction costs, improved quality and coordination, and secured supply chains. However, the risks include higher management costs, reduced flexibility, and potential lack of competition leading to lower quality. Examples include companies that own suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers rather than using external partners.

The Popularity of Merger and Acquisition Strategies
The acquisition strategy has been a popular strategy among U.S. firms for many years. Some believe that this strategy played a central role in an effective restructuring of U.S. business during the 1980s and 1990s and into the twenty-first century.
An acquisition strategy is sometimes used because of the uncertainty in the competitive landscape. A firm may make an acquisition to increase its market power because of a competitive threat, to enter a new market because of the opportunity available in that market, or to spread the risk due to the uncertain environment.
The strategic management process calls for an acquisition strategy to increase a firm’s strategic competitiveness as well as its returns to shareholders. Thus, an acquisition strategy should be used only when the acquiring firm will be able to increase its value through ownership of the acquired firm and the use of its assets.
Please go to the next slide.
5
Mergers, Acquisitions, and Takeovers
A merger is a strategy through which two firms agree to integrate their operations on a relatively coequal basis. Few true mergers actually occur, because one party is usually dominant in regard to market share or firm size.
An acquisition is a strategy through which one firm buys a controlling, or one hundred percent, interest in another firm with the intent of making the acquired firm a subsidiary business within its portfolio. In this case, the management of the acquired firm reports to the management of the acquiring firm. Although most mergers are friendly transactions, acquisitions can be friendly or unfriendly.
A takeover is a special type of an acquisition strategy wherein the target firm does not solicit the acquiring firm’s bid. The number of unsolicited takeover bids increased in the economic downturn of 2001 to 2002, a common occurrence in economic recessions; because the poorly managed firms that are undervalued relative to their assets are more easily identified.
On a comparative basis, acquisitions are more common than mergers and takeovers.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. What Is Vertical Integration?
Vertical integration is a strategy that allows a company to streamline its
operations by taking direct ownership of various stages of its production process
rather than relying on external contractors or suppliers.
A company may achieve vertical integration by acquiring or establishing its own
suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, or retail locations rather than outsourcing
them. However, vertical integration may be considered risky potential
disadvantages due to the significant initial capital investment required.
4. How It Works
Vertical integration occurs when a company attempts to broaden its footprint
across the supply chain or manufacturing process. Instead of sticking to a single
point along the process, a company engages in vertical integration to become
more self-reliant on other aspects of the process. For example, a manufacturing
may want to directly source its own raw materials or sell directly to consumers.
5. Two issues have to be considered before
integration:
Costs. An organization should vertically integrate when costs of making the
product inside the company are lower than the costs of buying that product in
the market.
Scope of the firm. A firm should consider whether moving into new industries
would not dilute its current competencies. New activities in a company are also
harder to manage and control. The answers to previous questions determine if a
company will pursue none, partial or full VI.
6. Owning the Supply Chain
A typical company's supply chain or sales process begins with the purchase of
raw materials from a supplier and ends with the sale of the final product to the
customer.
Vertical integration requires a company to take control of two or more of the
steps involved in the creation and sale of a product or service. The company
must buy or recreate a part of the production, distribution, or retail sales
process that was previously outsourced.
Companies can vertically integrate by purchasing their suppliers to reduce
manufacturing costs. They can invest in the retail end of the process by opening
websites and physical stores. They can invest in warehouses and fleets of vans to
control the distribution process.
7. General industry value chain and none, partial or
full VI of a corporate operating in that industry
9. Advantages and Disadvantages of Vertical
Integration
ADVANTAGES
1. Lower costs due to eliminated market
transaction costs;
2. Improved quality of supplies;
3. Critical resources can be acquired through VI;
4. Improved coordination in supply chain;
5. Greater market share;
6. Secured distribution channels;
7. Facilitates investment in specialized assets
(site, physical-assets and human-assets);
8. New competencies.
DISADVANTAGES
1. Higher costs if the company is incapable of
managing new activities efficiently;
2. The ownership of supply and distribution
channels may lead to lower quality products
and reduced efficiency because of the lack of
competition;
3. Increased bureaucracy and higher
investments leads to reduced flexibility;
4. Higher potential for legal repercussion due to
size (An organization may become a
monopoly);
5. New competencies may clash with old ones
and lead to competitive disadvantage.
11. Conclusion
Vertical integration is the business arrangement in which a company controls
different stages along the supply chain. Instead of relying on external suppliers,
the company strives to bring processes in-house to have better control over the
production process. Though vertical integration may result in increased upfront
capital outlays, the goal of vertical integration is to streamline processes for
more efficient and controlled operations in the long-term.
