New GM newsletter targets suppliers

GM moves to boost communication with its sometimes hypercritical suppliers by creating a new publication called "Global News" to keep in contact on a quarterly basis. The publication contains the musings of purchasing potentate Harold Kutner, vice president for all the parts GM buys around the globe, and views and news from GM's regional purchasing outposts. Suppliers now can decide whether GM is serious about smoothing its often rocky relationship with them.
