What a fantastic article. I can't help but think how SpaceX, for example, does everything they can. They don't outsource their engines. They don't outsource anything. Heck, they get involved in making new alloys even if they're not making the bulk alloy metal. Musk knows that to innovate, you must control your own destiny. We need more of this. Outsourcing is this management fad that all the business schools must have taught as de rigeur, and it's good for non-core competencies of a company sometimes, but never ever good for core competencies.
