“…This strategy is also compatible as a blue ocean strategy, since with vertical integration, firms can make real product innovations to reduce competitors' former market power and market share (Pi & Li, 2022). Firms are encouraged to integrate activities that differ greatly in formality from the technical approaches on which they rely.…”

“…This occurs between firms in different echelons of a supply chain and can eliminate the negative influence of double marginalization (Gao, 2015;Gunaratne, Krook, & Andersson, 2022;Kouvelis, Xiao, & Yang, 2018;Lin et al, 2014;Wei, Zhao, & Hou, 2019). Many manufacturers adopt vertical integration, therefore, to gain competitive advantage (Pi & Li, 2022), allowing them to control retail prices (Martín-Herr an & Taboubi, 2015;Wei et al, 2019), manage changes in demand efficiently and exert tighter control over the quality of supplies and the product (Wei et al, 2019).…”

“…While these results are strongly supported by the theory and evidence (as reported in Section 2), the topic of vertical integration strategy is both complex and controversial. Even on the threat of new entrants in one or more tiers not occupied by the incumbent firm, the latter have vertical integration as a mechanism to reverse their inferior position under the threat of substitutes and achieve coopetition (Pi & Li, 2022).…”

Purpose This paper aims to present the vertical integration state-of-the-art and propose an expansion of the operations and supply chain management (OSCM) field by identifying gaps and bottlenecks. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses a systematic literature review based on a sample of 173 OSCM field articles, collected from Scopus and Web of Science databases. Findings There are no single factors, such as future costs, structures or skills development, in the decision to vertically integrate operations. It is necessary to combine the vision of production costs with the perspective of governance and transaction costs. In addition, it is essential to consider the competency perspective and its impact on capability building. Research limitations/implications Few studies have attempted to understand how vertical integration is used in terms of OSCM research themes and theories. Vertical integration can help companies face challenges and serve as a potential solution for achieving better prices, demand control and quality management. Practical implications The significant role of vertical integration mechanisms in supply chains is crucial for managers evaluating a firm's reconfiguration with more vertical operations. Policymakers interested in supporting the smoothness of vertical integration decisions in regulatory agencies play a key role as contingencies. Social implications In times of global challenges, vertical integration is a strategy known to be more effective for firms to obtain a competitive advantage, making them more resilient. Originality/value This paper addresses gaps in the vertical integration theme and provides insights for future research development.

Due to strict regulations and the requirement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, electric vehicles (BEVs) are a promising mode of transportation. The lithium battery is the most important power source for an electric vehicle, but its performance and life are greatly restricted by temperature. To ensure the safety of automobile operation and alleviate mileage anxiety, it is urgent to understand the current situation and predict the development and challenge of battery thermal management system. This work reviews the existing thermal management research in five areas, including cooling and heating methods, modeling optimization, control methods, and thermal management system integration for lithium batteries. Battery thermal management types include air-based, liquid-based, PCM-based, heatpipe-based, and direct cooling. Designing a better battery thermal management system not only needs to be optimized using algorithms on the model but also it uses intelligent algorithms for precise control to achieve safety and reduce energy consumption. This work also reviews the differences in thermal management systems between square and cylindrical batteries and summarizes the development trend of modularity in battery thermal management systems.
