  • Why the future of hundreds of Tier 1 suppliers and thousands of Tier 2 suppliers is in question – and why the pace of M&A will inevitably accelerate.
  • How ‘e-Purchasing’ by the big carmakers is one of the biggest factors in the consolidation – and how suppliers are scrambling to adapt to Internet-enabled supply chain management or sell out to those who can adapt.
  • How financial buyers are driving the M&A process for many suppliers – and why their power will be even more fully demonstrated in 2000.

    Burwell can also speak to:
