What's In a Word?
This is the first of a new feature in Outsourcing Journal. In this frequent column, we'll focus the content around topics of great current interest to you, our readers, based on key words and phrases you're searching on in Outsourcing Center's search engine. This month the words are "value chain."

These value-chain challenges are also plentiful throughout other industries.

What is the difference in outcomes among vertical integration, accountable business units, strategic alliances, contracting, outsourcing, or spot market strategies? How should these different approaches be managed? This knowledge is essential to enterprise success.
