The mature plastics industry is a worldwide, multibillion-dollar industry in which a steady flow of new or improved plastic materials, new or improved production processes, and new or improved market demands has caused rapid and tremendous growth in the use of plastics. For over a century the World of Plastics product production, with over a billion products, continues to expand enormously with the passing of time. Manufacturers are introducing new products in record time. The ability to shrink time-to-market schedules continues to evolve through the more knowledgeable application and behavior or familiarity of the different plastic ma-... 

Some firms are able to achieve more power in the market by acquiring competitors. However, they may experience higher costs than expected if they are unable to integrate the two companies successfully. Additionally, firms that acquire others to achieve market power often place too much emphasis on gaining efficiencies and lose, or are unable to develop, the capabilities required to be innovative (Hitt, Hoskisson, Johnson, Moesel, 1996). When this occurs, entrepreneurial and more nimble competitors may introduce new products to the marketplace that eventually erode the focal firm s market share and market power. 

Another important consideration is the effect of the reactions that continue, albeit at different rates, and in some cases along new pathways, after sampling. These reactions could introduce new products, modify existing species and caixse the loss of volatile components. Consequently, the speciation profile of some elements may be changed. In order to minimize this effect, it is essential to process the samples as soon as possible after collection. 

They can target the ongoing demand for modem crop protection compounds by introducing new products with new modes of action and higher efficacy. 

Process innovations have resulted from pressures to improve worker efficiency and the work place environment, to reduce energy consumption, to reduce initial capital expenditure, to reduce air and water pollution, to improve end product quality, and to introduce new products. In the last 40 years, older facilities have been completely redesigned and expanded, and since 1970, 23 completely new wet-milling facilities have been built in the United States. Such installations now require less space than... 

They provide less improvement with each product but introduce new products more frequently. 

Because of the very strict rules that in industrialized nations govern additives used in human food, it has become very expensive to introduce new products. In some countries even some of the older derivatives that used to be considered nontoxic have been questioned.

The current trend of reusing well-known brand names to introduce new products that contain an active ingredient different from expected is a source of confusion that can present a danger to patients. 

Single-serve products, such as cones, ice creams or ice lollies on sticks and choc ices, that are bought singly from a shop or ice cream van, or in multi-packs from a supermarket. These are often described as impulse (because they are often bought on impulse) or novelty products (because manufacturers usually introduce new products or variants each year to maintain consumer interest through novelty). 

Antimicrobial drug use in food animal production is fundamental to animal health and well-being and to the economics of the livestock industry. Therefore the pmdent use of antimicrobials is critically important because few new drugs are entering the market, and existing uses need to be preserved for as long as is practicable. Pmdent use will minimize the development of antimicrobial resistance and maximize therapeutic effect. When introducing new products onto the market, pharmaceutical companies need to mle out the presence of cross-resistance to old products...
