Alibaba—Threat or Opportunity

A share in the Chinese e-commerce web site, Alibaba, is being offered to US investors in the very near future. For many small to mid-sized businesses, this is the equivalent of Godzilla showing up in your neighborhood. 

Why? Because unlike many other e-commerce sites, Alibaba not only offers products, it offers parts and represents the local Chinese manufacturers of those parts. It provides an easy, inexpensive vehicle for larger manufacturers to access the low-cost labor and parts of the Chinese manufacturing economy. Alibaba has made it easier for American business to “off shore” products.
