n-tier partner model

To borrow a concept from the software architecture world, and apply it to business relationships, is the best way to describe what is happening in the world of online application development.
So maybe you can help me coin the phrase: “n-tier partner model.”
The concept is simple: partners build things, which other partners can build on and combine into other things, and which again can be combined. So the number of tiers are multiple, and stackable.
Sounds complicated – but it’s really not that complicated. It’s actually simple.
People build services, services have the capability to be combined with other services, and themselves packed into other services, and voila – there you have it.
