Resumen
This paper analyzes a Bertrand competition model with differentiated goods, in order to determine optimal decisions when the owners can use vertical integration and managerial contracts as strategic tools. The equilibrium results are: i) the owners always delegate control to a manager who is encouraged to be less aggressive in sales; ii) there is no vertical integration when goods are highly homogeneous. iii) social welfare is never the highest that can be achieved.
