The Daimler-Benz group is expected to announce a corporate reorganisation which could see control of subsidiaries centralised at its Stuttgart headquarters in Germany. Under such a scheme Daimler-Benz Aerospace (DASA) would lose its independent board. According to unconfirmed reports in the press, another option would be to shift all responsibilities back to the subsidiaries, effectively leaving the headquarters as a financial-holding company.
