The Global Manufacturer: Technological and Economic Opportunities, and Research Issues - Albany, NY October 5-8, 1987

这项建议是为了支付将于1987年10月在PRI举行的“全球制造：技术和经济机会及研究问题”会议的部分费用。这次会议的目的是促进对涉及全球制造的国内和国际技术、管理和政策问题的认识，并勾勒出有助于我们理解全球制造内在复杂性的研究议程。为实现这一目标，将邀请积极从事选定课题研究的学者担任演讲者。将讨论的主题将集中在与自动化制造的未来、通信和计算机技术的进步、人力资源管理以及国家和国际竞争与合作有关的技术、经济和公共政策问题上。演讲者将来自主要工业国。每个主题的讨论将由一个由3至5人组成的小组领导，其中包括一名美国实业家、一名外国制造商、一名学者和一名讨论者/报告员，他们将准备小组会议的书面概要，重点是研究需要。这次会议的会议记录将被公布。

This proposal is for funding to cover partial cost of conducting the conference "Global Manufacturing: Technological and Economic Opportunities, and Research Issues" to be held at PRI in October 1987. The purpose of this conference is to foster an awareness of the technical, managerial and policy issues, both national and international, that are involved in global manufacturing and to delineate a research agenda that will contribute to our understanding of the complexities inherent in global manufacturing. To achieve this goal, scholars actively engaged in research on the selected topics will be invited to be speakers. The topics to be addressed will focus on the technical, economic and public policy issues relating to the future of automated manufacturing, advances in communications and computer technologies, management of human resources, and national and international competition and cooperation. The speakers will be from key industrial nations. Discussion of each topic will be led by a panel composed of 3 to 5 individuals including a U.S. industrialist, a foreign manufacturer, an academic, and a discussant/rapporteur who will prepare a written synopsis of the panel proceedings, focusing on needs for research. The proceedings of this conference will be published.
