The Internet allows companies to coordinate more closely with their suppliers and also enables just-in-time delivery that lets businesses greatly reduce inventories. Cisco’s suppliers build and ship while Cisco handles all of the financial transactions. This is an excellent instance of control/demand uncertainty fix.
