Ma explained that the core competence and principle on which Alibaba is built is CULTURE.

马云解释说， 阿里巴巴建立的核心竞争力和原则是文化。

For example, Kodak considers that its core competence is electronic imaging and has kept this in-house; it subcontracts or farms out many other activities.

例如，柯达认为其核心竞争力是电子成像， 并将其保留在内部；它分包或外包许多其他活动。

These activities may be described as non-core – not a part of the organization's core competences or competencies – the skills that allow it to maintain its competitive edge (see Unit 17).

这些活动可能被描述为非核心——不是组织核心能力或能力的一部分——允许其保持竞争优势的技能（见第 17 单元）。
