* outsourcing to the competetor to keep up demand

:Huh. What's this up there. I don't simply understand why a company would want to [[outsourcing|outsource]] to a [[competitor]] and how would that keep up [[demand]] --[[User:Juxo|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?

:::Ok. I understand but I still think that applies to niche markets and one shouldn't do [[outsourcing]] in lateral manner but vertical. I understand this so that competitors are lateral to your company as sub-contractors are vertical with the end-customer as the "highest" on the map. --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 18:57, 28 Aug 2004 (EEST)
