RAND Report "New Forces at Work in Mining: Industry View of Critical Technologies"
RAND has just published a report entitled, "New Forces at Work
in Mining: Industry Views of Critical Technologies," by D. J.
Peterson, Tom LaTourrette, and James T. Bartis. The report
presents the results of a series of in-depth discussions with
leading mining industry representatives selected for their
prominent position and their ability to think broadly about
technology trends. The discussions highlighted the importance
of collaborative technology research, development, and
implementation strategies and the increasingly critical role of
mine personnel in the utilization of new technologies. |
