In 1999, more than 860 people were killed and more than 84,000 injured on Ontario roads. The social and economic costs of these collisions have been previously estimated at $9 billion annually. Many collisions are caused by driver error - behaviour like following too closely, speed too fast, failure to yield the right of way, and improper turns and lane changes.

...have Routemobiel take in that network? What new partners would you need to find to fit the new strategy? 2) How should you manage your new business network such that partners are aligned with the network strategy? 3) What new value-added services could you develop to improve Routemobiel’s customer service or strengthen its product leadership? How would you position yourself towards the customer? 4) Which technical innovations could accelerate or threaten the benefits of the Route Mobiel business network, and why? ABSTRACT Started in 2005 as a player in the Dutch road assistance market, Route Mobile challenged the only player (ANWB) in this market by organizationally operating as an intermediary, orchestrating a network of business partners. Its strategy of being a cost-leadership while at the same time increasing awareness among public and transparency in the market seemed to be successful. The Dutch road assistance market attracted new entrants with even lower prices than RM. These new price-fighter entrants caused a misfit for RM with its price fighter image. RM’s service level was satisfactory but the market remained very much price-driven, with little opportunity for differentiation on service type and quality. Because of these competitive forces, in 2011, RM chose for a different strategy centered around product leadership and customer intimacy to improve the value added of its...

...of a business situation. The original case “Feeling the Heat: Allianz and WWF pushing an industry towards climate change action” by Tania Braga, Aileen IonescuSomers and Professor Corey Billington won the Finance and Banking Award in the 2009 EFMD Case Writing Competition organized by the European Foundation for Management Development . MUNICH, GERMANY: AUGUST, 21 2007. Joachim Faber, CEO of Allianz Global Investors and member of the Allianz SE Management Board, reviewed the proposed terms for a threeyear agreement with WWF, the global NGO. He was eager to engage in this visionary initiative, aiming at pushing the financial industry action on climate change to the next level. To his knowledge, this was the first ever collaboration between an NGO and a financial services company with such a level of ambition. Looking back, he could see that Allianz had already consolidated its position as thought leader on the climate change arena and effectively contributed to raise awareness among major players of the financial industry. However, he felt that moving from thought leadership to action leadership was not a given. There were still major uncertainties regarding the actual implications of climate change for the business of the financial industry. The absence of comprehensive frameworks and tools to quantify, and hence incorporate climate risk into the core processes of the financial industry, added to the uncertainty bill. He wondered how far they could go without benchmarks...

...Vehicles Dannel P. Malloy Governor ct.gov/dmv facebook.com/CTDMVteens @CTDMV Melody A. Currey Commissioner An Important Message from Governor Dannel P. Malloy and Commissioner Melody A. Currey Connecticut takes pride in its highway safety initiatives and efforts to make the roads safer for all who use them. This work involves driver licensing and ensuring that new and renewing drivers are aware of safety’s critical role when behind the wheel. For the state’s youngest drivers, obtaining your license is a time of joy and freedom, but it comes with great responsibility. Two years ago Connecticut imposed tougher teen driving laws for 16and 17-year-old drivers. These laws, along with stiffer penalties, were put into place to keep you safe on the road as you learn and become a more experienced driver. It takes time and practice. We hope you understand that the laws and penalties are in place to help reduce crashes, injuries and deaths. We want to remind all license holders that driving is a privilege and not a right. Connecticut has specific laws, such as speeding, driving too fast for conditions, reckless driving, driving under the influence, and others that aim to protect all people on the road whether vehicle drivers, passengers or pedestrians. Distracted driving, including the use of phones while driving, has been noted as a contributing factor in many serious accidents. We urge all drivers to remain focused on the task at hand – operating the motor vehicle safely when under...
