Overview: From the executive summary: ‘Today high-tech companies are still loaded with rapidly depreciating goods. At one end of the food chain, the cyclical semiconductor industry is suffering through its deepest trough in demand. In the middle, electronics contract manufacturers and their suppliers, customers, and distributors are trying to figure out who owns which surplus components. At the other end of the chain, PC makers are waging price wars, and the gray market in networking equipment is thriving.’ Hence, technology companies are taking steps to limit their exposure. The paper examines ways by which high-tech companies should manage their supply chains.
