Grabowski, Vernon, and DiMasi (2002) have reported that only 30 per cent of marketed products will reach breakeven and only 10 per cent will return a profit. Whether one agrees with their estimates of the cost of R D, the key point is this regulatory approval does not guarantee profitability rather, it is the market environment into which the product is launched and the intrinsic value of the product as perceived in the marketplace that ceteris paribus determines profitability.

Product managers will keep the production function in touch with the market, and ensure that the producers can respond quickly to a changing market environment. 

Some petrochemical companies - faced with a very cyclical market environment - have made great efforts to set real targets by differentiating between nominal improvement (i.e., performance compared with last year, often driven by external factors) and real improvement (i.e., performance vs. competition, neutralizing overall market development). 

Changing the current situation. One might decide that aggressive stock investments are too risky given the stock market environment. Therefore, a more conservative investment approach is warranted. 

Strong interaction with the market. This is a crucial requirement, especially in a rapidly changing market environment. For example where a new technology is being introduced. Many leads are obtained, by discussion and observation on the customers premises, which will stimulate innovation to the benefit of the customer and hence the company. These visits by R D scientists to the customer should not be rare events. They should be integral to the process of innovation.

There are generally two types of stability studies conducted 1) regular and 2) accelerated. In the case of accelerated stability study, the product is stored under elevated temperature and relative humidity (RH) conditions to force or expedite its degradation pathway and assess the changes. The stability testing conditions depend on the anticipated market environment. An example of a recommended protocol is provided in Table 1.

On the macro level, the effect of activation policies is largely mediated through the labour market environment, but activation strategies are designed to lower unemployment or non-employment, raise overall employment and improve the fiscal balance of the welfare state at least in the long run. Hence, increasing labour market entry and participation is the major concern of activation policies, and for this purpose options of unconditional benefit receipt for the working-age population are to be closed. 

Does activation succeed in bringing the jobless into work If so, under which conditions in terms of implementation, governance structures and labour market environment does activation work best Is there a general or context-specific pattern of viable activation strategies This volume tries to give answers to these research questions by bringing together country expertise with available empirical evidence on the outcomes of activation policies in real terms. 

In a deregulated market environment, nuclear power is not yet cost competitive with coal and natural gas. There are also concerns about safety, environmental health and terrorism. Nuclear power also has not resolved all problems in long-term management of radioactive wastes and needs to be shown as a safe and economical source of hydrogen before attracting the investment capital to build 100 new plants. 

As a result of this changed market environment, there now exists in the United States a large fleet of over 100 million cars, many of which were built in an era of relatively cheap and available gasoline, which are now rapidly being obsoleted in terms of fuel efficiency. 

This need can be met only by a new generation of cars, designed and engineered for a market environment similar to that which exists in Japan and Western Europe, where gasoline has always been relatively expensive. 

With the coming revolution in car design that is required to meet the changed market environment, the American automobile companies are faced with a formidable challenge and will require the support of the Chemical Industry in developing improved products and processes so that this challenge can be met.
