It also enables total control over activities which
were so far part of outside supplier’s responsibilities,
for example it makes possible exact supply planning
which helps to improve coordination of production and
operation of all the other links in the organisation. Existing
buyers take over their suppliers in order to gain
control over the processes taking place in earlier stages
of the production, particularly it refers to technology
and pricing. It gives the company better bargaining
power in negotiation with other suppliers. This approach
involves partial integration because the acquired company
has not an actual buyer, but it becomes a danger to
competitive suppliers.
