| Abstract | This contract, DTRS-57-8O-C-OO011, essentially called for a one-year study into the European motor vehicle industry, and an updating of previous work in the area of Japanese industry strategy. It was conducted by various members of the MIT Future of the Automobile Program, and is based in large part on extensive discussions with industrial, academic, governmental, and labor representatives of the various subject industries. The bulk of these discussions took place at several annual international forums sponsored by the MIT program, which provided extremely useful information beyond the customary industry statistics and industrial reports. The ground rules of these forums specified that all discussions -were off the record, and not for direct citation, but the background discussions among members of the program have been referenced in their general form here. When the following text refers to "respondents" or "sources" the discussion material from these forums is the subject matter at hand. |
