Want a Bigger Slice? Help Bake a Bigger Pie

摘要

"WHY AREN'T WE WORKING TOGETHER TO make our pie bigger, to find ways to sell more product?" asked Gary Chess of National Tube Supply. His rhetorical question echoed a common theme voiced by speakers at last month's MSCI Tubular Division conference in Tucson- "let's bake a bigger pie instead of just filching bites from the guy next door." The cute pie analogy belies the serious challenge posed by the speakers: a commitment by tubing producers and distributors to share resources as never before to expand the tubing market.
