It is essentially a pro if Netflix acquired any sources that would give them some independence in the supply or distribution field. Ferrell and Hartline (2014) explains that distribution and supply relationships are one of the most important decisions to any organization. Creating partnerships that would allow their customers to have some of their favorite content from certain providers would not only expand they company’s ability to reach customers and grow.

Cohen mentioned 3 companies that don’t even dabble in the cable business at the current time.
Competitive Response When your competition introduces a new product that is taking away your customer base, there are a few things you should evaluate before determining the correct response. You need to look at how their product differs from yours, what are they doing differently, and if other competitors have started to pick up market share as well.
