Difference between "need of" and "need for"
Hi,
Could anybody tell me if there is any difference between "need of" and "need for" ?
In the example below, what would be the correct sentence - a or b ?
a - Market changes increase manufacturers need of external resources.
b - Market changes increase manufacturers need for external resources.
TIA, Pierre

This is just a stylistic difference. I would never say "need of" here, only "need for". The former is most commonly
