Scrumpy- that prediction comes from the Gartner Group's Status graph, extrapolated, not from me.
Your statements are correct. However, the entire chain of any/all products of the thousands used in every case must be taken into account and the many layers that comprise EVERY SINGLE ONEe, such as raw materials, refining, financing, distribution, transport, telecom, electricity, parts availability, international division of labor,
scheduling, inventorying/JIT, water, food, contracting, on-time,delivery, railroads and airlines, the list is absolutely unlimited-
physical construction is only the FINAL link (besides the least fun one- end user payments/financing!).
The Seattle Mariners will be the last major league baseball team to have a new stadium for a long, long time. And, they will not be hitting as many home runs in that new park! Griffey is ready to leave.
But, this time next year he may be relegated to playing only on sandlot diamonds! |
