For precedented system developments, with incrementally improved or evolutionary growth products, the enterprise should refine established system definitions and product-fine strategies to satisfy the market opportunity or customer order. For unprecedented systems where the concept is not aheady defined, the...

Lonally, the templates were chosen by trial and error or exhaustive enumeration. A itafional method named ZEBEDDE (ZEolites By Evolutionary De novo DEsign) en developed to try to introduce some rationale into the selection of templates et al. 1996 Willock et al. 1997]. The templates are grown within the zeolite by an iterative inside-out approach, starting from a seed molecule. At each jn an action is randomly selected from a list that includes the addition of new (from a library of fragments), random translation or rotation, random bond rota-ing formation or energy minimisation of the template. A cost function based on erlap of van der Waals spheres is used to control the growth of the template ale ... 

With the possible exception of geotextiles and housewrap, however, there have been virtually no new markets estabUshed as a result of the special characteristics of spunbonded fabrics. Growth has come about in an evolutionary fashion where spunbonded fabrics were substituted for woven fabrics. 

As PV module selling price has decreased, new markets have progressively emerged. This combination of market growth and price decrease has provided a smooth evolutionary path for the commercial industry of the 1990s. 

Might we assume then that the search for relevance is a search for ways to be reoriented toward the higher or highest evolutionary priorities Even discarding the (controversial) need for growth in humanity s kinetic machinery, there is a clear need for effort to just sustain the feeder reactions and to control the undesirable end products from the total system. The catalytic scientist surely feels that he must already be—and is—a key participant in that very play (or drama) of human survival or evolution. 

UPS did not stop with its synchronized commerce initiative, which, in my judgment, was more revolutionary then evolutionary. Chairman Eskew also codified and explained to UPS employees and to Wall Street, UPS s new organic growth strategy. And Eskew named this strategy the Four Quadrant model based on the University of North Carolina basketball team s use of the four-quadrant offense. As he stated, We will call our offense for innovation The Four Quadrants which focuses on innovating existing business operations internally and externally and, likewise, focuses innovation on new entrepreneurial ventures both internally and externally. ... 

UPS s growth has historically been evolutionary and organic. The company had trouble in its initial international expansion efforts because it tried to export UPS people to foreign countries and to override local culture and customs. But it learned. UPS has now reinvented itself by moving from the package or document delivery business to serving the entire supply and distribution chain.
