Never Outsource the Future
Like Dell, companies in the pharmaceutical, automobile, oil, information technology, semiconductor, and many other industries have increasingly pursued outsourcing without considering the importance of future capabilities. They are encouraged to do this by financiers
consultants, and academics-they see how quickly and easily they can reap the benefits of outsourcing,and don't see the cost of losing the capabilities that they forgo in doing so.They risk creating their own version of Asus.
The history of outsourcing in the American semiconductor industry,for example, chronicles the woes that betide companies that blindly adhere to outsourcing.At the outset, it made all the sense in the world to outsource the simplest of the steps entailed in making semiconductor products to Chinese and Taiwanese suppliers.The American semiconductor companies thought they were safe,as they retained the more complex and profitable steps, such as product design.
永远不要外包未来
像戴尔一样，制药、汽车、石油、信息技术、半导体和许多其他行业的公司越来越多地追求外包，而没有考虑能力在未来的重要性。金融家、顾问和学者们鼓励他们这样做——他们只看到可以多么容易而迅速地获得好处，而没有看到这样做后放弃能力的代价。他们冒着风险创建自己版本的华硕。
例如，美国半导体行业外包的历史中，记录了盲目坚持外包的公司所面临的困境。起初，全世界都有共识：将制造半导体产品的最简单步骤外包给中国和台湾供应商，美国半导体公司认为他们是安全的，因为他们保留了更复杂和有利可图的步骤，如产品设计。
