Summary findings• Companies are steadily implementing main tasks
required to comply with the SEC regulation• Almost half of the companies are turning to
external help with their CMP• The majority of companies are opting to build
rather than buy• Companies are synergizing – to varying degrees –
with information sharing platforms • Generally don't accord much significance to
possible externalities of DFS1502

Discussion questions
• How is an increase in symmetry of B2B information in the 3TG-based industries affecting the upstream, smelter and downstream tiers?
• Due to the increased symmetry of information, are upstream companies at a greater advantage vis-à-vis downstream companies?
• To what extent can IT-related expenses be reduced through engagement of common platforms?
