A microeconomic model of the focused factory-vertical integration strategic decision problem

Article Abstract:

A proposed model uses cash flow analysis to examine the behavior of a firm's risk and value with prospects of vertical integration. At different points along the focus-integration line, managers can measure the changes to the variable and fixed cost as well as to the different risk components that comprise the firm's value. Therefore, the model allows managers to identify the trade-offs that must be made as their firm's strategies are formed.
