Subject: Case study / region South America Dear Sir or Madame: In the name of the faculty of economics of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen in Germany and very personally, we would like to thank you for your contribution to our study on strategies and struc-tural adjustments of the major players in the MERCOSUR automotive industry. It has been an exciting project that has been very much depending on your input in extensive interviews and discussions. We are well aware that this dedication was a great favour taking time from your day-to-day agenda. All the more, we think it is important to inform you of our progress and share some of the results of the study. The major goals of the research program so far have been reached: • The understanding of the regional strategies after the creation of MERCOSUR has closed a gap in
academic research. • Major strengths and weaknesses of these strategies have been identified; future improvements for
strategy making in the context of regionalism, integration, trade policies, investment strategies in the Americas and elsewhere have been deduced and discussed.
Our research so far has been published in an article at the 2005 European International Business Acad-emy Conference in Oslo (see attachment) as well as in the book publication ‘Strategien der Automo-bilindustrie in Südamerika’1. Further articles will follow. In addition, the practical implications of eco-nomic policies in the Americas disseminate into the knowledge of our business and economics students in seminars and lectures. Again, we would like to thank you for your time and shared experiences and insights. Finally, as the year is still young, we would like to wish you a happy new year, professionally as well as personally. Yours sincerely, Prof. Dr. H. G. Preusse Dr. Karsten M. Schlageter
