Fifteen years ago Steve Jobs asked the question, “Is Yahoo a technology company or a content company?” Ten years ago Yahoo was unable to answer the technology vs. content question.

Among the issues surfacing related to the impacts of the British vote to exit the European Union are questions regarding changes in supply chains, particularly by those owned by U.S. companies. Although the majority of immediate concerns has been driven by questions related to financial markets, as well as, of course, the political chaos occurring both in London and Brussels, business interests are also correct to be concerned. After all, the original intent of forming the EU was the creation of the “Common Market” and supply chains have evolved in response to this goal. Inasmuch as the U.K. and the U.S. are primary trading partners, let's consider how U.S. companies supply chains will be impacted should the exit be final.
