Transfer of Interactive Management Technology to Ford Motor Company: Final Project Report to Ford Motor Company

Written by Warfield and reviewed carefully by Staley before printing, this is a summary covering the totality of the research and IM workshop activity performed by IASIS collaboratively with Ford Research Laboratory over the four year period 1990-1994.

A copy of this paper was sent to The Institute of Public Policy at George Mason University (TIPP) where it was issued as a TIPP monograph, with the TIPP Monograph cover and end papers added. The TIPP MONOGRAPH TITLE is: "Technical Paper No. 94:1" Previous to the TIPP Monograph we had printed an IASIS office report, which is exactly the same as the TIPP monograph in content, except that our IASIS report has a front cover color photograph showing Scott Staley in action as facilitator at one of the Ford Workshops held in Dearborn.
