I can follow up with you on that. One of my colleagues was recently writing about the BIRD program in Israel. They identified that a key weakness of smaller Israeli firms was that they didn't have sufficient market access or marketing skills. The program suggested that they partner with an American company to complement their skill sets. This was part of getting the funding associated with the program. They were able to leverage their skill sets to become part of their global value chains. Of course, there are trade-offs. Obviously, if you're part of the global value chain, you're not necessarily capturing all the value associated with your product. Still, it was a good way to start developing some key strengths.
