Innovation radical

Technology leaders must pioneer discontinuous/radical changes along with continuous/incremental innovations. Radical innovation estabUshes and periodically renews the competitive advantage incremental innovations sustain it. Pressures on the leaders are to focus on only the near-term incremental efforts. Technology leaders must, however, build the will within the business leadership to recognize that both are necessary (35). 

At this stage a prototype product is produced, and its performance in the market is assessed. If this is satisfactory, full-scale production is established. But the designer s role does not end at this point. Continuous analysis of the performance of a component usually reveals weaknesses or ways in which it could be improved or made more cheaply. And there is always scope for further innovation for a radically new design, or for a radical change in the material which the component is made from. Successful designs evolve continuously, and only in this way does the product retain a competitive position in the market place. 

Other proposals question the efficiency of the present system of intellectual property rights as an incentive to innovation and point to a more radical change in the way R D on pharmaceuticals is organized these proposals... 

Innovative methodologies for in vivo microdialysis in immature subjects have facilitated research in multiple areas. Clinically driven experimentation on neonatal anoxia, hypoxia, or ischemia indicates that perinatal manipulations of oxygen and blood flow result in acute and chronic disruptions of neurotransmission and transmitter turnover (Chen et al., 1997 Nakajima et al, 1999 Ogasawara et al., 1999). Recently, a role for toxic free radicals in brain damage induced by prenatal infection was also delineated by in vivo microdialysis in rat pups (Cambonie et al, 2000, 2004). More subtle neonatal manipulations, such as maternal separation or periodic neonatal isolation, coupled with subsequent in... 

Innovation is the engine of growth (Klette Griliches, 2000), suggesting that an innovative ability is synonymous with corporate success. However, innovation may not always be successful, in that a firm s innovative outputs must still create more value for customers compared to competitors offerings. Innovation can be as incremental as a new use for an existing product or process, or can be radical, such as a...

There were two important innovations in the development of these oxidative cycles the use of carbon monoxide which had previously been considered a relatively inert molecule in the atmosphere to regenerate the hydroperoxy radical via Reactions 2-6 and 2-7 and the use of peroxy radicals HO, and RO, to oxidize nitric oxide to nitrogen dioxide. 

The radical-based strategy has invaded the field of A-containing heterocycles. Cyclizations mediated by silyl radicals have been introduced as the key step in the synthesis of alkaloids and pharmacologically active compounds, with many advantages both in terms of selectivity and bio-compatibility. Some of the most significant and innovative examples are described in this section. 

Sustainable technology innovations (E-h-) = emerging or unproven technology to provide through inherently different mechanisms radical technology change. 

An innovative way to introduce trifluoroethanol and trifluoroethylamine moiety by the radical path has been described starting from xanthates of (0,0)- and (<9,A0-hemiacetals of fluoral. ° This powerful method allows cascade reactions, yielding elaborated molecules (Figure 2.52). ... 

The modes of thinking about structures and reactions and intermediates facilitated or even demanded by these conceptual innovations meshed productively with new tools of a different sort to drive the progress of recent decades. Advances in electronics and computers, all sorts of spectroscopy, laser optics and physics, chromatography, mass spectrometry, quantum theory and computational strategies, molecular beam experiments, and so on, radically expanded the limits of experimental and theoretical investigations. 

How radical and innovative you want to be must of course be your choice in the light of what is appropriate in your circumstances and your aspirations. The point is that what you get out of doing your project will depend on the frame of... 

The former example is a radical innovation, not only because it allowed significant changes in message reminders and adhesives, but also because it was completely unexpected. The diversification of Post-It notes into different sizes and colors is an example of incremental innovation, which involves step-by-step changes and improvements to existing products or processes. Radical innovations are far less common, though their effects are farther reaching over both society and history. 

I am trying to find agreement on the subject of the impact of government regulation on innovation, while I m not sure that the conservative and radical philosophies, like taxes, are not squeezing those of us progressives in the middle more than we want. I have to admit that, the more I observe attitudes today, the less confident I become that innovation is seen as universally desirable. 

Opportunity involves both supply-side and demand-side factors. On the supply side, technological gaps can exist (1) between the technology used in a particular firm and the already-available technology that could be adopted or adapted (known as diffusion or incremental innovation, respectively), and (2) the technology used in a particular firm and technology that could be developed (i.e., major or radical innovation). On the demand side, four factors could push firms towards technological... 

Using this approach of a selectivity term SPFR Sunder and Hempel (1996) successfully modeled the oxidation of small concentrations of Tri- and Perchloroethylene (c(M)a = 300-1300 pg D) by ozone and hydrogen peroxide in a synthetic ground water (pH = 7.5-8.5 c(Sj) = 1-3 mmol C03 L"1). In this study an innovative reaction system was used the oxidation was performed in a tube reactor and mass transfer of gaseous ozone to pure water was realized in a separate contactor being located in front of the tube reactor. By this way a homogeneous system was achieved. Since the two model compounds react very slowly with molecular ozone (kD < 0.1 L mol-1 s "1), nearly the complete oxidation was due to the action of hydroxyl radicals, which were produced from the two oxidants (03/H202). With...
