Thinking back, this is something all motorists are required to do in the yard during their K53 examination – but how many ever do so again? As well as teaching foresight and patience, the defensive GavIN MYERS driving course reminds us of the importance of the simple tasks that could save your life, your family’s lives and the lives of other road users before the vehicle’s engine is even started. river training is a concept often discussed A defensive driving course brings home numerous truths. in FOCUS – after all, when millions of rand The first is that driving a motor vehicle – any motor vehicle – is in vehicle capital and customer stock is a privilege, not a right. D being moved on public roads, no reputable The second is that far too many motorists abuse that transport company would want just anybody privilege, and, in the process, place themselves and other behind the wheel of its vehicles. road users in very real, altogether unnecessary danger. Yet, how many transport operators – or corporate companies The third is that many drivers suffer from a poor attitude, in general – extend the concept of driver training to the rest of and fail to realise the actual limitations of their driving skills, their staff? It has long been accepted that South Africa’s K53 and how easily these can be improved. driving system is out of date and leaves the country’s drivers I highly recommend investing in such a course. Being woefully underequipped to tackle modern traffic conditions a safer, conscious driver translates into being a more and the generally poor attitudes of the country’s drivers. economical driver, which saves fuel and running costs. Most While many managers may not believe they are obliged to importantly, it could also mean saving a life. F do so, empowering all employees when on the road can have both immediate and far-reaching benefits. I recently attended a refresher defensive-driving course with driver-training company MasterDrive. A well-known name in driver training, MasterDrive presents a TETA-approved course consisting of internationally recognised driving standards. A two-hour theory session is followed by an hour of on-road driver evaluation. While this is not the first time I have done such a driving course, and I have done numerous other advanced-driving courses, I do believe that this type of course is by far the most beneficial to those driving on South Africa’s roads every day. The principles apply in equal measure to newly licenced and experienced drivers... For example, have you yet figured out what S.I.P.D.E. stands for? No? • SCAN your surroundings for hazards, always looking 12 seconds up the road; • IDENTIFY the hazard (of which there are three different types: moving, fixed and variable/changing); • PREDICT what might be about to happen; • DECIDE what course of action to take; • EXECUTE your decided action calmly and smoothly. Naturally, there’s a lot more to know; the S.I.P.D.E. principal is only the tip of the iceberg. In actual fact some of the points imparted in the course will already be common knowledge to many in the transport industry... 2 FOCUS ON TRANSPORT WHEEL NUT ???????????????

    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School CERTIFICATE FOR APPROVING THE DISSERTATION We hereby approve the Dissertation Of Irina Aervitz Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Director (Dr. John M. Rothgeb) Reader (Dr. Walter Arnold) Reader (Dr. Venelin I. Ganev) Graduate School Representative (Dr. Margaret Ziolkowski) ABSTRACT THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR IN CHINA AND RUSSIA: THE ROLE OF THE STATE IN TECHNOLOGY APPROPRIATION by Irina Aervitz The focus of this study is automobile industry in China and Russia. Specifically I am looking at the state attempts to encourage technology development in the automobile sector. My goal is to look for variations in the overall policy environment created by the state with regard to technology enhancement in the automobile industry in China and Russia and particularly focus on policy implementations at the enterprise level by observing the way enterprises appropriate technology by using various sources of technology appropriation provided by the state policies. I believe that this research is important because it reviews the literature on the role of the state in industrial development and introduces the concept of “technology appropriation.” Technology appropriation lies in the heart of the companies’ technological competitiveness and is based on the sources of technology made available to companies by the regulatory environment created by the state. Most importantly, this project offers analysis of the empirical data collected during a series of interviews in the domestic and foreign enterprises operating in both countries. This analysis attempts to lift the “curtain” over the companies’ technology-oriented strategies and the way they take advantage of the existent state policies affecting the process of technology appropriation.

The production and sales growth was insignificant, in comparison with the first quarter of 2012. The increase in the share of foreign cars in the car production and sales structure also slowed down. Car Production Over the first three months of 2013, in Russia, 452.5 thousand cars were manufactured, which is only a 0.62% increase on the production result for the same period of 2012. Shares of Russian and foreign cars in the production structure also remained almost unchanged. In January-March 2013, 140.6 thousand cars of Russian brands were produced, which amounted to 31.07% of the total production volume. For comparison, In January-March 2012, their share was equal to 31.11%. Despite the total production volume stability, in the first quarter of 2013, the dynamics of cars, produced by various manufacturers, differed significantly. So, most enterprises, producing cars of Russian brands, showed the negative production dynamics. AVTOVAZ’s car production decreased by 4.63%, in particular, due to the assembly termination of Lada Kalina cars of the previous generation and preparation for the production of a new model of Kalina cars. The car production of Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant also decreased, by 14.1%.
