It is more difficult for global companies to survive in Europe than in the US or in Japan. This is because most European nations do not have the critical mass to adequately support such companies, while the US and Japan can easily sustain any number of big and stable global businesses. In view of this, the best option for most European firms to grow is to look for alliances. Five types of European global company is likely to emerge from such a background.

The 'Thoroughbreds' are firms whose product and service strengths come from a distinct lineage based on one or more European countries. 'Those We Love to Hate' are politically inspired projects. Whatever form they choose, Europe's global firms need to develop a single identity that preserves the diversity of national styles to maximize opportunities.
