developments worldwide to give us the best 'feel' possible about future
directions.

RESEARCH AND CONSULTING:
Both for Profit and Non-Profit activities alike, ASI engages in research
and consulting (RC) on a fee basis. Usually non-profit RC is performed
as a result of inhouse concerns; the results are then marketed. Profit
motivated RC results from responses to outside requests for ASI
services, or ASI responds to 'requests for proposals' from others.
