Abstract
Trade barriers have largely been removed through free trade agreements and economic blocs, not only in Europe but also worldwide. Manufacturers are finding that their distinguishable markets are swiftly evolving into a single, global marketplace. This can create new business opportunities but, on the other hand, the domestic markets are no longer protected as more and more companies are competing internationally. To compete in this new scenario companies are increasingly focused on covering all aspects of the product development process as their core business and decentralising other tasks using business units which operate more or less independently. The product development process in extended enterprises is increasingly organised in networks of suppliers, manufacturers and users, evolving towards service companies.
