(October 6, 2008) MUNICH, Germany — Messe München released a white paper to discuss the desirability of China, India, and Eastern Europe to the electronics industry from the perspective of six industry leaders. The white paper, "How China, India, and Eastern Europe are changing the global electronics market," available in advance of electronica 2008, shows how executives regard these regions with respect to low-cost manufacturing, rising energy costs and wages, worker flexibility and adaptability, regional infrastructure, environmental regulations, and intellectual property (IP) security.
These factors can affect electronic companies' decisions about what products to develop and where to manufacture them. Much of the information was derived from a live interview in 2007 with top executives from Atotech, Panasonic, Orbotech, Siemens, and Tyco Electronics.
This white paper is one in a series of papers that treat subjects of special interest to the electronics community. A previous white paper, "How to get the most from your visit to electronica 2008 in Munich," provided help for those traveling to Munich for electronica 2008.
The white paper can be downloaded on www.electronica.de/en.
electronica 2008 will take place at the New Munich Trade Fair Center, November 11–14, 2008.
