David Bowie- “Toy”

From the album of the same name. Toy was supposed to be released in 2001, but Virgin was reluctant to release an album of songs they didn’t own the rights to. When Bowie set out to make his own record label, the album was shelved. Some tracks have been released as B-sides for singles, however this one was renamed “Your Turn to Drive”, and placed on ITunes as an exclusive download.

As an employee in any type of organization can attest, organizational culture is as prevalent and as varied as individuals themselves. Organizational culture is enduring and complex, and may have both a positive and a negative effect on the staff and the workplace. In many ways culture will determine the survival of an organization over the long term, especially in volatile industries.

Cultures that can be a liability to an organization include those that create barriers to change, create barriers to diversity or barriers to mergers and acquisitions. (Stephen P. Robbins. Organizational Behavior, 8th ed., 602-603.)

Wagner continued, “The figures quoted in sales brochures for fuel economy, emission levels and 0-100 km/h acceleration times are the next obstacle to overcome when selling a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission. If these figures are significantly worse than those of a vehicle with a manual transmission, European customers tend as a general rule to favor the manual transmission. As a consequence, the requirement for low fuel consumption and good performance figures form an essential component in any automatic transmission development work.”

Things, though, could be about to change in Europe as the transmission has now come into the front line in the carmakers’ quest to meet emissions legislation. “The primary requirements and customer benefits underpinning the further development of automatic transmissions,” said Wagner, “include a reduction of fuel consumption, a reduction of pollution, vehicle performance improvement, increasing torque capacity, greater comfort, sportiness, noise reduction, resource conservation, and competitiveness.”

Over the last 10 to 15 years, various automatic transmission technologies, including step automatic transmission, AMT (automated manual transmission), CVT (continuously variable transmission), and DCT (dual clutch transmission), have been developed. The jury is now out as to which of these will prove the most practical or, more likely, the one most accepted by the public. What has been noticeable in Europe over the last years is that the transmission has started to appear in automotive advertising as a feature for differentiating between vehicles. Examples of this include the Audi Multitronic, the ZF Mytronic and the Mercedes-Benz 7G Tronic. However, it is the dual clutch, otherwise known as the “twin clutch,” transmission, with its extremely sporty image and ability to satisfy the comfort requirements drivers look for in an automatic, that may be set to make an impact on the transmission market. It also has the added bonus of being praised by the enthusiast press. This transmission is based on a countershaft design that essentially comprises two inter-related manual transmissions with two input shafts, one for the odd numbered and one for even numbered gears which share a single output shaft. Powershifts are undertaken using the dual clutch which can switch engine power between the two transmission sectors under load with no interruption to traction.

Developed for use in front-transverse driven vehicles based on the Golf platform, Volkswagen, working closely with BorgWarner, was the first carmaker to bring it to volume production with the DSG250 (”dual shift gearbox,” in its parlance) in 2003. It is now offered on vehicles as diverse as the VW Golf, the VW Touran, a small minivan, and the 3.2 liter Audi TT. The price premium for the VW DSG can be compared with that for a 6-speed multi-ratio transmission. Comparing like for like under test conditions, a DSG version of the VW Golf R32 shows a 3 to 10% improvement over a manual version in 0-100 km/h acceleration times.
