In a previous post I was saying that, one day, enterprise’s main role will be to organize a value chain and coordinate expertises, some of them being internal and some others internal. Economy’s “knowledgization” where assets resides more in individual knowledge, transaction costs near to zero which may cause a reversed application of Coase’s law, and the ability go organize without organization can make us think that enterprises will only have a role of principal and skills unifier.
I won’t be listing again the long list of thinks that are or can be outsourced today, from recruitment to innovation, without forgetting manufacturing, invoicing, R&D.
Fortunately, companies keep what matters : knowledge, expertises. But, perhaps, not for long.
