Generalites- Management of tehnology in
the context of globalization
• Technology transfer implementation requires good project management. Changes to product or
process technology may sometimes be essential to the successful implementation of a TT project.
Very often, firms in developing nations are confronted with finding suitable people at this stage
and close cooperation with the transferor may be needed to locate required skills. Scheduling the
timely arrival of allied materials, parts, and services is essential to ensure successful
implementation of the project. Training programs will also have to be scheduled and conducted
either in-house or at transferor approved locations.
•The major activities at this stage include the following:
• • Identification of changes to be made to the product or process to suit local conditions and making
the necessary adaptations.
• • Recruitment and selection of personnel not already available within the organization and
conducting training programs for existing staff.
• • Development of improved remuneration plan to facilitate change management.
• • Formulation of arrangements with ancillary suppliers of materials, parts and services based on a
make vs. buy analysis
• • Maintaining links with government authorities to keep track of policy changes
• • Commissioning the transferred technology on or before schedule.
About Renault Group

Renault Group is a French multinational automobile manufacturer established in 1899. The company
produces a range of cars and vans, and in the past has manufactured trucks, tractors, tanks,
buses/coaches, aircraft and aircraft engines, and autorail vehicles.
The Renault corporation was founded on 25 February 1899 as Société Renault Frères by Louis Renault
and his brothers Marcel and Fernand. Louis was a bright, aspiring young engineer who had already
designed and built several prototypes before teaming up with his brothers, who had honed their
business skills working for their father's textile firm. While Louis handled design and production,
Marcel and Fernand managed the business.
The first Renault car, the Renault Voiturette 1CV, was sold to a friend of Louis' father after giving him
a test ride on 24 December 1898.

• “Renovation”, spanning up to 2025, will see renewed and enriched line-ups, feeding brand
profitability;
• “Revolution”, from 2025 onwards, will pivot the business model to tech, energy and mobility;
making Group Renault a frontrunner in the value chain of new mobility.

"
The mains objectives

operational free cash flow(1) (2021-2023) and investments (R&D and capex) reduced to
approximately 8% of revenues;

automotive operational free cash flow(1) (2021-2025), and an improvement in ROCE(2) of at least 15
points compared to 2019.

The Renaulution plan will ensure the Group’s sustainable profitability while keeping on track with its
Zero CO2 footprint commitment in Europe by 2050
New organisation
A new organization will roll-out this plan:
- the functions, with engineering at the forefront, are accountable for the competitiveness, costs and
time-to-market of the brand products;
- the fully-fledged, clear and differentiated brands manage their profitability.
In accordance with this value-driven organization, the company will no longer measure its
performance on market shares and sales but on profitability, cash generation and investment
effectiveness.
Divisional structures focus their attention and activities around specific groups (e.g., markets, goods
and services, customer demographics, etc.). This type of organizational chart allows teams to
collaborate on broad, shared organizational goals while maintaining a primary focus on their
respective, specific goals.

The Alliance

The Alliance between the Renault and Nissan groups constitutes the most sustainable and productive
multi-cultural strategic collaboration in the automotive industry. For more than 20 years, this
partnership has offered a unique, pragmatic and agile model, always able to evolve and integrate new
projects and partners. Extended to Mitsubishi group, it forms the largest automotive alliance in the
world.
The aim is to bring new technologies and businesses into the member companies of the Alliance while
ensuring a fair financial return. The key investment areas, in line with the views on the future of the
automotive industry, include New Mobility, Autonomous Driving, Connected Services, EV & Energy
and Enterprise2.0.
The Alliance
- adoption of 3-, 5- and 10-year plans (strategic Company projects, with quantified data);
- approval of product plans (phase of strategic projects corresponding to the design, manufacturing
and sale of current or future products, vehicles and components);
- decisions concerning the sharing of products and powertrains (such as platforms, vehicles,
gearboxes, engines and other components);
- principles of financial policy, including:
• discount rates used for profitability studies and hurdle rates, applicable to future models and
investments,
• risk management rules and the policy applicable to them,
• financing and cash management rules,
• debt leverage strategy
R&D

In 2020, net R&D investments and expenses, down by 1,038 million euros, amounted to 11.3% of
Group sales against 10.7% in 2019. The decrease in research and development expenses over 2020 is
explained by the end of an initial cycle of upgrades to the product range, the lower level of business,
and actions to reduce fixed costs, which focused particularly on subcontracting and purchases of
prototypes.
Renault continues its research activities with the academic world, the most prestigious universities,
and other universities.
Joint research activities are mainly carried out as part of subsidized collaborative projects, work
conducted within IRTs and ITEs (energy transition institutes), and as part of studies involving doctoral
students under industrial research training agreements (CIFREs).
R&D
• Research and teaching chairs Established under sponsorship agreements or agreements of a more
competitive nature, research and teaching chairs are created to more quickly solve complex
problems relating to innovation (technology, management and Human Resources, mobility
ecosystems, etc.) in partnership with the best academic teams and in association with other
economic and industrial players.
• Since May 27, 2020, Groupe Renault, Nissan Motor Co, Ltd. and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation
have jointly positioned new strategic guidelines within a “leader-follower” business model. The
aim of the new business model is to strengthen the efficiency and competitiveness of vehicles and
technologies by reference region. It is expected to reduce investment costs for vehicle models by up
to 40%.
Conclusions and future proposals

The Groupe is harnessing its international growth and the complementary fit of its five brands,
Renault, Dacia and Renault Samsung Motors, Alpine and LADA, together with electric vehicles and
the unique Alliance with Nissan and Mitsubishi. In order to meet the great technology challenges of
the future and to continue its profitable growth, the group draws on its international development.
We believe that in the future the general trend will be that people will no longer buy cars, they will be
interested in renting a car for a few hours a day or once a week; why pay so much money for the
purchase of a car, then for maintenance when you can rent. In this case, the group should develop more
projects such as Mobilize because they are the future.
