- catalog abstract "Whether to become or remain vertically integrated is a question of vast strategic importance in many industries. In recent years, firms such as Alcoa, Lucent and General Motors, for whom vertical control over most steps in their value chains had historically constituted an important basis of competitive advantage, have sold upstream businesses that produced components or intermediated materials, in order to focus on portions of their value chains that they consider to be core to their business. This paper proposes a model to help managers who preside over decisions to integrate or outsource to assess ex ante whether, when and why it might be strategically and competitively important to develop internal capabilities to perform certain activities in-house, and when it will be sensible and safe to outsource elements of value-added.".
