Game Guys, Inc. needed a special silicon substrate. The company executives knew a new start-up in India, Silicon Sisters, Inc., was the best in the world at efficiently mass-producing the product. The Indian company needed MSG (metallurgical grade silicon) in order to make the substrate, which it knew it could get from a Chinese firm.
