Our egotistic energies Should be directed not
merely towards the gains for the few, but
towards the gains of everybody around us
15
In the past the Business and Technology have
created many ugly scars on the face of the world

Same Business Technology with the new
outlook will make this planet worth living They

The industries must produce goods that improve
the plight of the consumers and not to

GATT WHOgone in the background

• Multi lateral trading system with free marketing
  access
• Poor countries looking up for concessions for
  survival
• Erosion of confidence and independence of local
  businesses

Pakistans Plus Points

• Geographically strategic location
• English speaking main gear
• Cheap semi skilled manpower
• Moderate Muslim culture

35
Lines of Immediate Action

• Forge lucrative international alliances
• Train professionals and labour
• Prepare to meet tough ISO requirements
• Reduce cost of production

36
Operating firms need go multi- disciplined
multi- cultured and multi-
national These have to get merged , re-
structured, be participatory distant
37
Engineers cannot restrict themselves to their
conventional roles Engineers have to learn new
techniques
38
such as
Entrepreneurship Management methods
Information technology System visionary and
holistic approaches Environmental technologies
Participatory methods, networking.

technical knowledge at lower levels is not
available

• Bring technical know how to the bottom lines
• Market is there within the people themselves
• Small workshops and house holds can produce these
  items and generate income as well
• Give micro-credits and train people

with training, indigenous manufacturing will
build local capacity low labor cost and overheads
43
expert help and central coordinationis needed

• Fully dedicated social activists, hands on
  engineers, and management experts with linkages
  to technology sources
• should centrally coordinate the development and
  operation of technology incubation and training
  centers for outreaching to the rural communities.

We need dedicated, service oriented knowledgeable
people

Serving people is not a priority for our
Architects and Engineers

• A paradigm shift is required in their practices
  and mind sets
• They need to participate in a system directly
  addressing the needs of the people

46
Engineers need to develop cheap alternative
materials and technologies

• Community Organizations can out-reach these
  materials and technologies right down to the
  bottom lines through modern tools of management

47
What is Lacking
Collectiveness
Energy
know- how
Some minorities and sects who have these
attributes have improved themselves.

• What is needed
• Awareness
• Organization
• Technology

48
A dedicated team of experts is required to work
in the Community training people on

1. Individual skills for enhancing their incomes
2. Individual and family entrepreneurship.
3. Doing things collectively to reduce expenditures
   and to reduce leakages.
4. Doing things collectively to harness assets.

A new form of Society has to emerge
49

• The change must come from the System and within
  the System
• Outside source should only do the spark
• The fuel must be there to ignite itself

50

A Completely new and innovative approach
is required
Conventional paradigms of development of the
past are bound to fail

Individual Cell Units

• Design centres, technology providers- low cost
  technology solutions.

  and households.

71
Answer is the System Approach

• Look at the whole system
• Who are the stakeholders?

• Who are the money makers?
• If the money is being
• sucked away, who is taking it?
• Tax the advantage taker
• Spend on the needy
