Backward integration can provide a tool for economic development in lesser developed
countries. At a micro level, transaction cost analysis provides an explanation for the
degree of vertical integration found in import channels. Macro level consequences of
backward integration are derived and policy recommendations are suggested to achieve
greaterbackward integration.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Verti l Integrati n
Verticalintegration is all about owning upstream suppliers and its downstreambuyers. It
also increases or decreases the intensity of control with respectto companys inputs and
distribution of outputs [Werner Z. Hirsch]
There are two types of verticalintegration:
1. Backward integration
2. Forward integration.
Backward integration is all about companys control of its inputs or supplies similarly
forward integration is all about companys control ofits distribution.
Over the years the strategic reasons for opting for a vertical integration strategy have
changed. Firms have used vertical integration in last decades to achieve economies of
scale and also it was used for smooth operations in mid 20th
century for supply of vital
inputs. Backward integration or forward integration is also considered as cost reduction
strategy.

1.2 key Driving Forces Vertical Integration
There are multiple factors that contribute in the organi ation and existence of huge
integrated firms despite inherentinefficiencies. These canbe:
Reduced costs
Weak supply networks
Increased market power
Government policy
These factors are important during the early stages of an industry.
1.2.1 Cost reductions
There is a cost related advantage forintegrated firms over smaller firms when they avoid
costs on transactions in immature markets, mainly during early stages of market
development. Transaction costincludes the cost of measuring outputin all ofits
dimensions and the consequence of not measuring it perfectly. This is another reason
that forcers larger firms tobecome suppliers of global firms.
Economies of scale is also achievedby firms from reduced costs through verticalintegration, consequently otherbenefits which are also achieved includes:
y Improved Assets Management.
y Decreased fixed costs.
y Lesser raw material and procurement costs.
1.2.2 Offensive Market Power:
Since large integrated firms have increased access to resources like finances, human and
technology and they have morebargaining power,therefore,they arebetter positioned to
develop markets forthe new products
8/4/2019 SM Vert Integ Report Final
10/33

1.2.3 Government policy:
Large integrated firms influence and benefits from government policies. In the early
stages ofindustrial development capital,labor and product markets as well as regulatory
environment are poorly developed and hence governments have greater control overtheallocation of resources. Larger firms in such emerging marketsbenefits from government
policies and graduallybecome more vertically integrated and hori ontally diversified.
Large vertically integrated firms are likely to emerge in high scale economy industries,in
situations where premium products arebeing pioneered. Because it can have a significant
impact on a business units position in its industry with respect to cost, differentiation,
and other strategic issues,the vertical scope ofthe firm is an important consideration in
corporate strategy.

CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW
Verticalintegration isbasically a strategy of corporate. It hasbeen the vital force in U.S.
business for managerial style and development related to high productivity. In the pastvertically integrated companies havebeen the main source for change and have increased
wealth for shareholders (Kathryn). Most of the times it was not identified by the
researchers that verticalintegration can work as an effective strategy, provided thatit was
used wisely,that wasbecause they usually took an aggregated view ofit.
Vertical integration can provide several advantages including the temporary state of art
ones that canbe measured againstthe advantages of flexibility to develop the innovations
in technology.
Firms that initiate an early vertical integration, link to a specific technology in an
inflexible fashion and can encounter the risk ofbeing wrong as well as the cost can be
extensive. Butifthese initiators are rightthen verticalintegration can serve as a toolthat
can help establish industry standards, orderthe disordered environments or decrease the
operating costs appreciably. Thus pilot plants shouldbebuiltby the firms earlierto learn
about distributors and suppliers before the intelligence gains can be matched by the
competitors experience.
An economic overview explains thatindustries that are operating in stable environments
and have large capital investments persists on being integrated, while firms having a
volatile market have rolledback (Ashay Desai et al). The two industries that will operate
on high integrated level are the mining and oil exploration industries.

Figure 2-4 Historical Context of Vertical Integration
Several operations in the marketing as well as production of similar products is controlled
by a vertically integrated firm and its management follows an integrated profit policy
(Werner Z. Hirsch 1950). Vertical integration can workin the direction to the chief raw
materials, to the final consumer or in both directions simultaneously. Backward vertical
integration means thatthe unitthat started outthe verticalintegration is closerto the final
consumerthan any other unit. Forward verticalintegration means thatthe unitthat started
out vertical integration is far from the final consumer than any other unit. (Srinivasan).There are only few examples of pure vertically integrated firms. The reason is that the
ample volume has to be handled by such firms before they can introduce vertical
integration. Itbasically points outtowards large marketing and production volume which
is generally linked with several plants (hori ontal integration) or numerous commodities
orboth.
Firms usually choose the degree of verticalintegrationby their make orbuy decisions.
(Rudie Harrigan). Thus vertical integration is then analyzed from a long term profit
maximization viewpoint. It forms itsbasis on two grounds;
8/4/2019 SM Vert Integ Report Final
13/33
11
(a)Strategy that relates to the future which is mostly and always different from the
present
(b)Strategic decision entail resource commitments
A firm that emphasizes on long term therefore willbase its vertical integration decision
on the probable changes as well as on the current changes in technology.
The two main results are:
1. Ifthe competition is high then integration is negatively affectedby technological
change.
2. The most advantageous level of integration and degree of completion in industry
are negatively related.
The findings propose that firms should examine outsiders regularly to evaluate if some
activities can be done by them more cheaply than in-house. Extensive integration will
have to give way to narrowerintegration with the maturity ofindustries.

excellence and standards.
3.1.2 Missiony Tobebusiness house of first choice for customers.y Tobe change leader.
y To produce innovative, relevant a cost effective products.y Setting and maintaining high standards
y To earn profits by achieving optimum level of production by using state othe arttechnologies.
y To provide ideal working conditions to employees and to take care in theircareer planning and reward the according to their skill and responsibility.
y To meet social and cultural obligations towards the societybeing a patrioticand conscientious corporate citizens.
3.1.3 Vertical Integration Strategy of the Company:
The fashion domain is real dynamic and highly aggressive. Chenab keeps a very vigilant
check and balance on world fashion industry. Product innovation, research and
development are achieved through this proactive strategy. People from different fields are
formed into teams to deal with this strategy. These fields include marketing, designing
and textiles. These expertises are combinedby Chenab forthe production of value chain
based on creativity upon the idea generatedby a technically skilled person. This value is
then furtherimprovedby marketing professionals who converts technical feasibility into
fashion and so the journey from imagination to physical implementation is thus
completed.
Textile industries are usually known for fabric manufacturing and itsbyproducts. Here at
Chenabthey alsobuild up long-termbusiness associations with customer and this canbe
only ensured through greater customer satisfaction and highest quality production.
As a vertically integrated organization, Chenab has an edge which beyond compare by
any other firm in this whole region. Research and developmentis the area which is under
heavy investmentby Chenab to support their proactive strategy through which new
products and new ideas are generated. They have Ginning, Spinning & weaving plants
8/4/2019 SM Vert Integ Report Final
18/33
16
which allow them to create an array of weaves with differenttypes of yarn/fibers. Chenab
own its outlets throughoutthe country named ChenOne, resulting in bothbackward and
forward integration atthe same time andbenefiting from them.
3.1.4 Backward Integration:
With a capacity to process 0.5 billion meters per month of finished fabric the
manufacturing facilities related tobackward integration at Chenab comprises of:
y Ginning
y Spinning
y Weaving
y Processing
Chenabby all means is the largesttextile industry in the region
3.1.5 Spinning:
Pakistan textile industry has seen major changes due to its modernization in last few
years. The spinning division at Chenab Ltd. (Spinning Division) is fully automated with
computers and state ofthe arttechnology and all the equipments have been streamlined.
Thus the mechanical speed has greatly increased due the inclusion oftechnology.
8/4/2019 SM Vert Integ Report Final
19/33

The process of opening of cotton bales is also fully automated at Chenab. To provide a
uniformblend of fiber properties threads frombales are mixed andblended together. To
attain highest efficiency atthe new automated high-speed feeding equipment and factthat
fiber properties are consistent, the bales are grouped in a systematic manner so that
production or feeding is done according to properties of fiber.
3.1.6 Weaving:
The oldest method from which fabric is made through yarn is weaving. Though the
modernized way is much faster and complex thebasic principal remains the same.
Cloth was traditionally woven by a wooden shuttle that moved horizontally back andforth across the loom, interlacing the filling yarn with the horizontally, lengthwise warp
yarn. Modern mills use high-speed shuttle less weaving machines that perform at
incredible rates and produce an endless variety of fabrics.
3.1.7 Preparation:
Customized fabric operation is the first crucial step towards the guaranteed final quality
of all finishing processes. Different fabrics are quality controlledbefore they go to
singeing,bleaching and mercerizing lines. Hi-tech equipment controlledby sophisticated
systems ensures total reliability and consistently optimal operations.
8/4/2019 SM Vert Integ Report Final

that specific customer standards are met.
Chenabs highly qualified and experienced technicians are able to cope with ever-
increasing quality standards and changing customer requirements. Their work starts from
the receipt of raw materials up to the time the final finished products have passed through
inspection/testing at all stages. The Company has also proven its commitmentto quality
by achieving distinct certifications and awards.
To ensure color consistency and quality computerized control systems management is
applied at all the dyeing lines process. The widest imaginable colors and the most
extraordinary range of dye stuffs are achieved due to the massive and continuous dying
