- outsourcing to the competetor to keep up demand
- Huh. What's this up. I don't simply understand why a company would want to outsource to a competitor and how would that keep up demand --Juxo 15:40, 28 Aug 2004 (EEST)
- If you have a small group of people working in Python you don't want any of them to go out of business. Instead you want them to develop specialties so that you can pick the most fun or most profitable and know for sure that you can get others to solve the boring and unprofitable parts of the problem. If you never outsource to competitors to create a value chain, with you pulling on the money side of it as the customer's most direct contact, this won't happen. If there is no demand (from you) for them to serve, you will not take on the high-profile front-end delivery-to-the-customer design-intensive jobs, the prime contractor positions. Which are the most profitable since they are the most direct channel to the customer. Does that help?
