Company Y
outsources its non
core functions
Company X should
outsource its non
core functions
A coherent and logic way of reasoning which automatically leads to a conclusion
Very convincing Sometimes hard to follow
Situation Observation
Conclusion
2222
…or an inductive logic
The concept of induction
Industry is attractive Competition is low Entry barriers are low
Company X should
invest in industry Y
A chain of non-related statements which make it possible to draw a certain conclusion
It is simple Link between conclusion and the
statements not always obvious
A list of independent statements
Conclusion
