2008: The Year of Research
Posted 02/14/08
The time has come where the Foundation can actively explore more research projects than ever before thanks to the increased generosity of donors in 2007. A banner fundraising year, the Foundation is exploring numerous research projects to add to the industry’s body of knowledge.
Other topics included on the table for funding consideration include:
- The Future of the Health Care Industry
- Bundled services: The Competitive Differentiation
- The Future of the Transportaion Leasing Industry - Where are the Opportunities?
- Lessons learned from previous business cycles
- New business models for equipment finance firms
- Credit Risks & Credit Scoring - What are the new/alternative approaches to success?
- Where did all my profits go?
- Captives - How do captives need to react to changing economic realities? What are/could be their competitive advantages?
- Technology Equipment Financing Series
- Energy - Trends representing growth in industries for equipment demand
- 2010...What will the industry look like after Basel II implementation?
Also, several past Foundation studies were so successful, Foundation leaders are considering updates or further exploration, including:
- The Perfect Storm II: What can be learned from the Sub prime Blues and applied to the equipment finance market?
- 2008 and Beyond: The Economy’s Impact of Equipment Financing
- Propensity and Market Size Study – the next steps
