make

or

buy

the decision by a firm on whether to make a component or product itself or to buy it from an external supplier (see OUTSOURCING). The decision will depend upon the combined production costs and TRANSACTION COSTS of the alternatives. Sometimes a firm may adopt mixes of the two policies, producing some quantity of the product itself and buying the remainder, depending upon the relative costs of the sources and security of supply considerations. See TRANSACTION for a more detailed discussion. See INTERNALIZATION, VERTICAL INTEGRATION.

This is where one of the strengths of Linux, and of open source in general, becomes one of its weaknesses: whilst delivering software as source code allows for open development, troubleshooting and, generally, increased compatibility, the downside is that for anyone who has never used a C compiler or looked at a UNIX editor and a Makefile, the whole experience can be quite uncomfortable.
