I have and claim zero expertise in this area but it seems that there is an emerging trend towards supply chain contraction with hard goods. Certainly the lesson of the last 24 months seems to be that lack of strategic risk management in the supply chain can cripple you when things go south. This was always obvious conceptually but the discipline seemed lacking.
Yet software and software-based services seem to be going the opposite direction. Certainly supply chain security issues are beginning to surface but I don't see anyone contracting the dependency graph with stacks on stacks of SaaS products.
