The LoJack system includes a small wireless transceiver that
is randomly hidden in your customer’s vehicle
When activated, the unit emits silent radio signals over the

vehicle (complemented by Early Warning product)

Considering China and India
Emerging Market Opportunities

China and India
–
–
–
–

the two most populous countries,
account for 40% of the world’s population,
are the fastest growing economies in the world
Business objectives moving from outsourcing and supply chain
efficiencies to presence & market share
Challenges remain: developing economies in transition
– Formation of institutions (political and regulatory)
– Formation and maturity of markets

Impacts becoming material
– Impacts of continued Sino-Indian growth will become larger
– In 1980 when China grew ten percent, the absolute increment to global
GDP and global demand was insignificant.
– Now the GDP is over 1.88 trillion $, and a ten percent increment is large in
absolute terms (equivalent in terms of global demand of about a 1.4%
increment in US growth
24
Engines for Global Growth
China and India represent unprecedented growth opportunities
GDP per capita predicted to grow by a factor of 4 to 7 within next
20 years
