Changes are underway @ gata. The website (& newsletter which uses the same format) are being revised into a hopefully more legible & search-engine friendly format. gata's offering is being expanded to offer the following services:

company international readiness assessments
global alliance partner search
world-wide customer search
foreign competitor analysis & evaluation

New partners who can help deliver some of these new services can be found @ the bottom of this newsletter. Feel free to forward comments to m2@intlalliances.com

It contains interviews with C-level executives on how they are maintaining quality & reducing expenses by moving their supply chains offshore to Belarus, Brazil, India, Russia, & Ukraine.
