Chuz, isn't Dell's cash conversion cycle a result of the "virtual Integration" build to order just in time manufacturing business model. And isn't Dell going to- believe it or not- real time purchasing of components at the instant the buyer places his order. Dell is coming in my mind to be a virtual company, that in some senses, doesnt exist in the real world until an order is placed, then it instantaneously springs to life and is a manufacturing virtuoso. I have not phrased this as well as I hoped. Any thoughts?
What in your view is the relation between virtual integration and the cash conversion cycle. Which is the chicken? Which is the egg?
