Example and Fashion

This article could really use a real-world example of stranded assets not related to the environment. Would assets that are written down because of changes in taste/fashion also be considered "stranded assets" ? I'm thinking of the Hudson's Bay Company's investment in beaver furs, when beaver felt top hats went out of fashion fairly suddenly... Thanks. - 2A02:908:186:3A20:B1EF:A28E:2ED1:DE34 (talk) 07:32, 3 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

The reverts done by Diannaa have been correct, as I indeed copied some text and hadn't reworked all of it to my own words. Still needs to be done and info hereby needs to be reintroduced. --Genetics4good (talk) 16:08, 2 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Vertical integration and contract-specific investments

Latest comment: 6 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

One of the main motivations for vertical integration is to reduce transaction costs. One of these transaction costs is the difficulty in arranging contracts such that a supplier investing in equipment to manufacture a product exclusively for a consuming business doesn't bear risk of the consuming business discontinuing their planned purchases. Without a contract, the supplier bears significant risk from their investment in the equipment. I'm not sure if this equipment is properly classified as a stranded asset since it isn't really about broader economic and regulatory conditions so much as the particular decisions of a single consumer, but it is surely closely related, and seems like it should be mentioned here.
