      <title>ROAD TRANSPORT INFORMATICS FOR DEMAND MANAGEMENT. IN: CONFERENCE RECORD OF PAPERS PRESENTED AT THE FIRST VEHICLE NAVIGATION AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS CONFERENCE, TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA - SEPTEMBER 11-13, 1989</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/358606</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The term "road transport informatics" (RTI) is currently used in Europe to describe a broad range of information technologies and systems which can be used for various applications in the field of highway transportation.  This paper describes progress on a major European study into the use of road transport informatics in implementing demand management policies.  This is being performed by a multinational consortium, led by Castle Rock Consultants, under contract to the European Community DRIVE (Dedicated Road Infrastructure for Vehicle Safety in Europe) program. The study described involves investigation of the application of various RTI technologies to demand management measures such as road pricing, restrictive zoning and access control.]]></description>

      <title>STRATEGIC PLANNING IN TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER: A DIALECTICAL APPROACH</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/300735</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The decision-making approach to technology transfer has not received adequate attention in technology transfer studies. This paper uses the dialectical inquiry system to show how multinational corporations (MNCs) can transfer appropriate technology to less developed countries (LDCs).  The process based on achieving "reasonable compatible" goals between MNCs and LDCs will lead to synergistic effects and further progress in the transfer of technology.  Conflict leads to incompatibility in goals.  It is not necessary that all conflicting goals be resolved.  In fact, such conflicts may contribute substantially to the perpetuation of the technological relationship.  A relationship without conflict may be devoid of the dynamism that frequently arises from disharmony and dissonance.  The paper further introduces the Enthalpy-Entropy cycle to show the consequences of making the right decisions as well as the consequences of poor planning and implementation of technology.  The framework introduced in this paper offers a strategic planning approach that can enhance the decision-making process of both the MNCs and LDCs.]]></description>

      <title>THE FUTURE OF THE AUTOMOBILE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/219069</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The automobile has made a deep and permanent impact on virtually every aspect of our lives.  It has also put a tremendous strain on the world's liquid energy resources. During the 1970s, governments around the world became aware of the resource casts of large-scale dependence on automobiles, as well as the environmental and safety costs.  The directions of change from country to country have been consistent: greater government intervention in automobile design to speed the introduction of safer, cleaner, and more fuel-efficient vehicles; using taxation to influence the industry and consumers toward fuel-efficient cars; more emphasis on encouraging collective forms of urban transportation; and greater stress on efficient and intensive use of existing streets and highways rather than building new ones.  The international environment of trade and competition has changed vastly--from one in which automobile manufacturing was centered in the United States and Western Europe to one in which Japanese imports are extremely competitive throughout the world. Third World countries are pressing for greater participation in making the cars used in their borders. The internationalization of the automobile market has strengthened regulators' ability to judge the feasibility of proposed standards and deadlines; the evolution of the major auto manufacturers and suppliers into multinational firms has weakened parochial orientations and may hasten innovative transfer among various firms; and the desire for greater efficiency and competitiveness is yielding collaborative production and shared assembly plants among automakers around the world.  The "world car" concept--small, economical models, suited to all climates and conditions, that can be made with components produced at various points around the world and sold, with slight modifications, virtually everywhere--will blur the distinction between domestic and foreign production.  It is speculated that between the late seventies and the late eighties, the number of competing automobile companies will drop from 30 to 10 worldwide.  In the future, all-purpose cars may be supplanted by small "city cars", more convenient car rental and self-drive taxis may replace traditional auto ownership; vehicle sharing may take new forms.  How well industrial societies succeed in salvaging automobility will depend on the combined ingenuity of government and industry and the driving public's response.]]></description>

      <title>NEW DEMANDS ON INSURERS. GEARING UP FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/210467</link>
      <description><![CDATA[During the last ten years, insurers have faced rapid growth in the worldwide market, and an accelerating rate of change in nearly every aspect of the business, from technology to investment practices.  These changes have made the way insurance companies are managed more crucial than ever and managers must plan more carefully than ever, set strategic goals and work towards them, and learn to anticipate change and profit from it.]]></description>
