20. Copyright © 2007 Global Insight, Inc. 20 The Role of Europe – Key Recommendations Don‘t underestimate the staying power of „old“ Europe –Allocate ressources strategically – it‘s not all about China –Analyze absolute volume potential, not just growth rates Develop a detailed mutual understanding of strategy –Are you in a seller or buyer market? –How vulnerable is your business model to changes in cost structure? –How dependent is your business model on people vs. machines? Establish a living and open partnership –Don‘t rely on contacts through purchasing/sales only, but integrate strategic planning, marketing, R&D as well –Establish high-level contacts to OEM through senior management/ owners: be „part of the family“
