The decline of international Electronic Manufacturing Services in Italy, what are Italian Companies learning?

January 6th, 2012 No comments

Written by Enrico Espinosa

From the end of 80’s important international companies operating in electronics looked for partnership to outsource the manufacturing activities. The intent of multinational companies operating in the telecom, automotive, IT business, was to leave the manufacturing activities to focus on their own core business. This strategic approach to business allowed international OEM firms to enter in the European market through commercial agreements and the acquisition of production sites. Their business model was to supply entire business unit products acquiring the manufacturing divisions. The target for the OEM was represented by multinational companies with leading technological products, and what it was happening met this expectation. The single technology design of family products allows the international OEMs to dedicate entire lines to a single customer emphasizing the specialization of their assets (human capital, and equipment). In addition, their competitive advantage were the high capital reserves to buy production sites and to cover costs of ramp-up manufacturing activities.

The dev-team has a gift for you.. :

"@pod2g has created a terrific gift for iOS fans — an untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak for non-A5 devices! 

Many of you have already been following @pod2g’s blog where he’s been keeping everyone up to date on his progress.  And so you know that he recently decided to push the button on a release for all devices except the new iPhone4S and iPad2.  @pod2g’s untether involves two separate exploits and a few other “tricks” — and since he’s taken the @comex approach of doing nearly everything himself, you know his plate has been full these past few months!
