Market analysts

Secondary sources of data are useful when they exist. Databases (qv) of pubUshed information have been assembled, and market researchers can tap them provided their company buys the service. These databases can save the market analyst many hours of work. The services also provide much of the general sociopolitical—economic background needed, such as petroleum (qv) prices, government regulations, foreign competition, etc.

Although these Form 483 observations are supposed to be confidential, only between the regulatory agency and the company, some ingenious lawyers have found that it is possible to access them through the Freedom of Information Act, and often this information is used by competitors or stock market analysts to determine just how well the company is run. 

If the industry and PV market analysts were to consider security as an independent market segment it would focus attention on developing PV security applications and products, and on marketing. 

Figure 3. Uncertainty of emission projections from installations covered by the EU ETS. The chart shows best estimates of total C02 emissions from EU ETS sectors in 2003 and 2005 (connected by dotted line), compared to allocations (flat line 2005-2007), and two estimates of 2005 emissions provided by market analysts in the months leading up to the release of the verified emission data. The shaded area indicates a plausible range of uncertainty in emission projections for the phase I period at the time of initial allocation decisions.

The production of Vin Santo over the years has become an increasingly specialized market, which is still characterized by both low production and few producers. Although sales of Vin Santo are not quantitatively comparable to those of the majority of wines, production of Vin Santo has increased significantly over the past decade, following the general increase in demand for sweet wines. From market surveys and from data from the major wineries, it has been estimated that in the period 2000-2005 the demand for sweet wines increased by 20% (Scienza, 2006). The demand to date has remained high, and market analysts expect a further medium term increase especially for the more specific productions. As a result of this trend, over the past few years, many wineries have decided to use this product as a showcase for the company, and thus to invest in Vin Santo (Misuri, 2006). 

Major Pharma doesn t like to distribute its data on failure to stock market analysts, lest they pull down their ratings, but they can give them to a common—in the sense of shared—consultant. The combined data from the top companies (see Table 15.1) show that failure is industrywide no one player in the industry is significantly better than the other. But different indications have different failure rates for different reasons, but failure rates are not different between the companies for the same types of indications.

Orlitzky et al. (2003) conclude that market forces generally do not penalize companies that are high in corporate social performance and thus, managers can afford to be socially responsible. Their results of the meta-analysis revealed a positive association between social/environmental performance (CSP) and corporate financial performance (CFP) across industries and across study contexts. If managers believe that CSP is a prerequisite for CFP, they may actively pursue CSP in the belief that the market will reward them for such efforts. The company s executives and top-leadership must be attentive to the perceptions of third parties, regardless of whether they are market analysts, public interest groups or the media (Orlitzky et al. 2003). 

The largest application of industrial enzymes is in detergents [1,2]. The detergent industry absorbs about 45% of enzyme sales in western Europe [2] and more than 25% of the total worldwide enzyme production [5,6]. Enzymes represent one of the largest successes of modern biotechnology. Market analyst Frost Sullivan (London) estimated that the total European enzyme market reached 350 million in 1992 and will rise to nearly 590 million by 2000 [2]. A Freedonia Group study evaluated the 1994 sales in the United States at 660 million and expects it to reach 1.3 billion in 2000 [7]. Detergent enzymes represented 500 million in 1995, of which 125-150 million was used in the United States...
