Last Minute Delay
"Atsushi Osanai, an associate professor at Waseda Business School, said the Sharp-Foxconn deal plays in favor of Apple, which prefers to buy a component from multiple suppliers for better bargaining power. Apple buys display panels for its iPhones and iPads from LG Display Co., Japan Display Inc. and Sharp. INCJ’s bailout plan had involved merging Sharp’s display business with its rival, Japan Display Inc., according to people familiar with the plan.
“Apple wouldn’t like Sharp and JDI to join forces because keeping as many vendors as possible can give them greater leverage over price and other negotiable conditions,” said Mr. Osanai."
