Business Notes
JOINT VENTURES
Courtship of Giants
</hdr>
<body>
<p> Boardrooms were buzzing from Bangkok to Boston last week
over word of an impending alliance between industrial
powerhouses Daimler-Benz and Mitsubishi. Daimler-Benz, maker
of the best-selling Mercedes-Benz automobiles and a partner in
the Airbus consortium, is West Germany's largest industrial
group. Mitsubishi, with interests ranging from electronics to
real estate, surpasses all of its Japanese rivals. Emerging
from talks in Singapore, representatives of the two firms said
they are negotiating joint ventures that would link their
businesses in the auto, aerospace and consumer-electronics
industries.
</p>
<p> Such alliances could help Daimler-Benz spruce up its
consumer-electronics group and afford entry to Japan's domestic
markets. Mitsubishi would position itself for 1992's united
European market and, with access to Daimler aircraft
technology, might enter the commercial aircraft field--a
dream come true for the Japanese but a nightmare for Boeing.
