Core growth strategy

A core growth strategy means that more value is built into core products, services, and solutions over time by fulfilling unmet customer outcome expectations. 

While a core growth strategy focuses on existing jobs for current customers, disruptive growth focuses on existing jobs for new customers. Remember when going to a dentist s office was the only way to get your teeth whitened That was a time when many customers couldn t get the job done due to... 

New product research is the core of RejD, underpinning a company s growth strategy.

In 2000, sustainable growth was adopted as DuPont s official mission. Since then, it has been regarded as the company s core strategy and direction. The sustainable growth strategy is further organized into three strategic pathways (Holliday, 2001) ... 

A facile strategy for the selective deposition of catalyst particles on the outer wall of CNTs is the ex situ synthesis described in Section 15.4.1.2. For selective in situ growth of the catalyst on the outer wall of CNTs, an apparently easy method is using closed (untreated) CNTs. However, their poor functionalization mostly results in a poor dispersion of the metal. The hollow core of the CNTs, once opened by oxidative treat-ment/functionalization, thus has to be blocked with a low-tension organic solvent,... 

In agreement with Flory s predictions, hyperbranched polymers based on A,jB monomers reported in the literature exhibit a broad molecular weight distribution (typically 2-5 or more). The polydispersity of a hyperbranched polymer is due to the statistical growth process. A strategy to overcome this disadvantage is to add a By-functional core molecule, or a chain terminator, which Hmits the polydispersity and also provides a tool to control the molecular weight of the final polymer. The concept of copolymerizing an A2B monomer with a B3 functional core molecule was first introduced by Hult et al. [62] and more recently also utilized by Feast and Stainton [63] and Moore and Bharathi [64]. 

In this paper the fundamental aspects of process development for the production of core and virus-like particles with baculovirus infected insect cells are reviewed. The issues addressed include particle formation and monomer composition, chemical and physical conditions for optimal cell growth, baculovirus replication and product expression, multiplicity of infection strategy, and scale-up of the process. Study of the differences in the metabolic requirements of infected and non-infected cells is necessary for high cell density processes. In the bioreactor, the specific oxygen uptake rate (OURsp) plays a central role in process scale-up, leading to the specification of the bioreactor operational parameters. Shear stress can also be an important variable for bioreactor operation due to its influence on cell growth and product expression.
