Sustainable growth

A natural concentration will be in the 3rd Thematic Programme on "Promoting Competitive and Sustainable Growth" and specially its Key Action 1 on Products, Processes and Organisation . 

As Figure 14 also shows, the only acetylene derivatives to sustain growth during this period were the so-called acetylenic chemicals. These include 1,4-butanediol, vinyl ethers, A/-vinyl-2-pyrroHdinone, and butanediol. Of these, 1,4-butanediol, a principal feed for tetrahydrofuran, accounts for over 90% of the acetylenic chemicals demand (38). 

Further reduction in the price of carbon fibers may enable penetration into the automotive market. A primary carbon fiber producer has armounced that prices will drop to 700 yen/kg ( 6.80/lb) by 1995 (73) and that cooperative development efforts with a main Japanese automobile producer are underway. Development for use in constmction, such as cement and cable reinforcement, and marine apphcations will result in sustained growth volume through the eady twenty-first century.

It has been shown that sulfidogenic bacteria injected into a reservoir with floodwater may survive higher temperatures in the formation and can be recovered from producing well fluids [1546]. These organisms may colonize cooler zones and sustain growth by degrading fatty acids in formation waters. 

Creation of a new understanding how to make TES happen is crucial, hence the introduction of the correct economic and environmental instrument is the single most important factor controlling the sustainable growth of renewable technology, hence effective international collaboration and awareness have an increasingly important role. 

Bergman et al., (1969) have shown that it is possible to have a sustained growth response for 30 min if the light intensity is doubled every 2 min. This was the first indication that the return of the growth rate to the baseline level after a step-up cannot simply be due to a depletion of an important metabolite. 

Processes are called autocatalytic if the products of a reaction accelerate their own formation. Autocatalytic reactions get faster as the reaction proceeds, sometimes dramatically, sometimes slowly and steadily. Exponential growth is a very basic non-chemical example. Of course the acceleration cannot be permanent the reaction will slow down and eventually come to an end once the starting materials have been used up. Only economists believe in sustainable growth. 

The transformation of an organic compound by a microorganism that is unable to use the substrate or one of its constituent elements as a source of energy is termed co-metabolism. The active microbial populations thus derive no nutritional benefit from the substrates they co-metabolize. The energy sufficient to sustain growth fully is not acquired even if the conversion is an oxidation and releases energy, and the C, N, S, or P that may be in the molecule is not used as a source of these elements for biosynthetic purposes [93-95,185,188-190,202]. 

This is the approach taken here. The research effort - termed the Evergreen Research Program for its emphasis on determining what factors account for sustained growth in performance - is the largest study of firm performance ever undertaken (Joyce, Nohria, Roberson, 2003). It provides a new and important perspective on growth both as a means to profitability and as an end in itself.

How might a firm induce scalable structuration for sustained growth The processes a firm employs to harness inert resources are clearly inadequate to induce scalable structuration. A different set of organizational structures, systems, and processes is required (Galbraith...
