DETAILS: October 26, 2001 w/ Joshua Li
CONTRIBUTION: Researched the outsourcing-based
EMS (Electronic Manufacturing Services) industry, looking at the crop
of companies (such as Solectron) that will dictate the future of electronics
manufactiring. Dot-com hurt. Outsourcing is cheap. Are these companies
the way to go?
OF INTEREST: It can be said that Flextronics
single-handedly made possible the Microsoft Xbox. If that's not an accomplishment,
their strategy of "industrial parks" may be the new wave of
wide-scale manufacturing throughout the industry, cutting costs for nearly
every hardware firm in the business.
