[solved] The big danger of outsourcing value chain activities is
increasing the firm's risk exposure to supply chain management failures and the price increases of suppliers.
making it harder and more costly for the company to control the quality of its product offering, thus impairing the value it delivers to its customers.
curtailing the company's ability to achieve strong differentiation of its products or services.
farming out too many or the wrong types of activities, thereby narrowing the scope of its capabilities in ways that unwittingly reduce or degrade its long-term competitiveness and prevent it from being a master of its own destiny.
impairing a company's distribution capability and weakening its ability to access customers directly.
