It instructed the subsidiary Mario Costa, in Latin America, not to make new contracts with any agencies in that region. Employees of Mario Costa and other Latin American companies which had been under the control of Kuhlmann and other French companies were not told of the new French-German dyestuffs "alliance."... 

Like all incentive mechanisms, contract R D has strengths as well as weaknesses. 1 argue below that the benefits outweigh drawbacks for preclinical and human trials. These programs reportedly account for three-quarters of all drug development costs (Global Alliance 2001). 

Biochemical profiling (NovaScreen platform, NVS) was developed and run by Caliper Discovery Alliances and Services (http // www.caliperls.com/products/contract-research/). The 292 assays in this panel were selected from a commercial panel for preclinical drug development based on published evidence linking assay targets... 

In either of these cases pursuit of the development may become irrelevant to the business case of one or other partner. Alternatively the asset itself may not perform well in the clinic or may be found to have long-term toxicity problems. This last issue is the most common reason for disengagement of parties in an alliance and is usually dealt with by following the course set down in the contract for that eventuality.

There are a number of ways to transfer the technology from a university to industry (see Box 5.5). Much of the research is published. You can hire someone to tell you exactly what they know. You can hire students. You can give them contract research work. You can build an alliance, license the work, buy the spin-off company, or do some work with the spin-off company. There are different degrees of usefulness and different degrees of timing and value in terms of how much you gain. 

This is a difficult time for Europe s petrochemical industry, but there is hope. Mergers, acquisitions, and alliances can give some players a unique opportunity to improve their fortunes. The number of attractive deals, however, is limited, and in many sub-sectors no more than two or three large deals could be consumated before antitrast limits are reached. Players that caimot or will not contract deals at the business unit level can find alternatives that will let them retain corporate control while extracting some, though not all, of the economic benefits of more sweeping deals. 

This study was funded by a grant from the Department of Energy, Contract No. DE-FG22-80PC-30199. We would like to thank Babcock and Wilcox Alliance Research Center (Alliance, Ohio) for supplying the Croloy 1/2 steel for the test substrates.
