B4F. Now if you know so much. Is FSG's overall business model..a Strategic fit....or a Financial fit.I'm refering to Diversification here. Why is it that they can operate in so many different areas,they need a document by law in order to do so.What is it called?
I love the fact that even though you're discussing economics and other non-football related things, KPR still turns the discussion into a dig about a certain team.
I don't know. I'll admit that. You never seem to be able to do that though, covering any shortfall with babble. I'll admit you read a lot though.
I think you owe me an apology as to some degree I am in fact right. Have a read of this.Vertical integration is concerned with monopolies and cartels,and Monopolies and Cartels are anti competition. Have a read. A diagram illustrating vertical integration and contrasting it with horizontal integration.In microeconomics and management, the term vertical integration describes a style of management control. Vertically integrated companies in a supply chain are united through a common owner. Usually each member of the supply chain produces a different product or (market-specific) service, and the products combine to satisfy a common need. It is contrasted with horizontal integration. Vertical integration is one method of avoiding the hold-up problem. A monopoly produced through vertical integration is called a vertical monopoly, although it might be more appropriate to speak of this as some form of cartel
Wrong. An example of a company attempting to create a monopoly would be British Airways attempting to by Virgin Airlines,as they are in the same aviation market(Transatlantic) and in the same country.Thus one having all the market share. Strategic intent on the otherhand is British Airways buying Quantas.Quatas is in Australia and they are in the same aviation market thus not attempting to take over the entire market share.
No, you're wrong KPR. You need a board with squares around it and names of train stations, and loads of paper money. Then you buy all of said stations, like Jezz says. Also, you've basically described strategic intent and monopoly as the same thing. You used the phrase 'in the same aviation market' to describe both companies that BA might buy.
I wasn't refering to the game monopoly,I was refering to a business monopoly ie something that under competition laws is not allowed and is also something Merseyside had in the league from May 1982- May 1989...where the league title didn't go anywhere else. Liverpool,1982,1983,1984,1986,1988. Everton.1985,1987.
Is business monopoly like a special edition where you play with briefcases and various stationery items instead of the dog, hat, car etc.?
Suarez. Nah not at all mate. Fair play for attempting to add some humour into this thread.Its all gone serious.
