More on Outsourcing

Red Herring interview with Gerard Fairtlough on the venture industry Venture Bouncebacks He makes some good points and some less so. There still needs to be a venture shake out. I think many people, and Gerard is one, have not thought hard enough about the outsourcing industry. Theoretically engineers can sit anywhere in the world, provided that the link between architecture, marketing (the link to the market) and management is strong.

Markets for early stage products is still predominantly in the west; that's where the marketing and management people will sit. I am not sure that it's really possible to build a product without closely linking marketing / architecture and engineers.
