All Help Appreciated

[insane]

I am down to the final question on my exams, and was hoping someone here could help me out.

The question is as follows:

Give an account for which conditions, except for the financial, you expect a company to rely on when it comes to strategic measures by producing and marketing its own products in stead of distributing products produced by suppliers.

Guys.. I know its the weekend, but I'd really appreciate some help. I am totally stuck here.

The background for this by the way, is that this company has previously distributed products purchased from suppliers. The supplier has also been in charge of marketing.

Now, this company feels they have the know-how to start their own production of the same product, and market it them selves. And in addition to the financial aspects (which I have covered), there are other aspects which need to be clarified and emphasized when a company is to undertake investments like this.
