New products tend to achieve better than average export sales. But all new products are not exportable, so managers face a problem in deciding which new products to emphasize. This study of 82 Canadian industrial goods firms shows that relative advantage is not the only characteristic to consider in judging a new product's export potential.

The nanometric scale researches results can be found, in present, in every industry domains, due to the effects of the new products, obtained on the basis of this researches. In the concrete industry, the research goal at this level is to obtain, finally, a material with new features, whose structural behavior to be considerably better than of the current one. Basically, it aims to achieve, using nanotechnologies, a new structural material for constructions, starting from the current concrete advantages (good compressive strength, durability, etc.), eliminating the disadvantages (low tensile resistance, cracks, etc.), and controlling, in the same time, the costs. Thus, in this paper are presented the required parameters in order to obtain this kind of material, by highlighting the nanocomponents characteristics and the quantities that are used to achieve the expected quality requirements. The real time influence of these nanocomponents on the quality of the studied material can be observed using a dedicated software, specially developed for this purpose.

Abstract To meet the ambitious targets ahead of us, all possible processes and technologies must be considered to ensure end-of-life plastics are not disposed in landfills. Chemical recycling can repurpose used plastics into new products, including new plastics, industrial products, and transportation fuels. In addition to creating new products, these technologies keep these plastic materials circulating within the existing infrastructure and economy.

Ekspor merupakan salah satu parameter yang sangat penting untuk diperhatikan, agar suatu negara dapat mengetahui seberapa besar pertumbuhan ekonominya. Udang merupakan salah satu komoditas ekspor yang memiliki peranan penting dalam kontribusi ekonomi Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji kinerja ekspor komoditas udang Indonesia di Amerika Serikat tahun 2009-2017. Komoditas udang yang diteliti dikelompokkan lebih spesifik menjadi tiga jenis produk, yaitu udang beku, udang segar dan udang olahan. Metode analisis adalah Constant Market Share (CMS) digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini berupa data sekunder daritahun 2009 hingga tahun 2017 yang diperoleh dari United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics Division (UN Comtrade) dan International Trade Center (ITC:).Rata-rata pertumbuhan ekspor udang Indonesiasecara umum lebih tinggi daripada rata-rata pertumbuhan ekspor udang dunia. Kinerja ekspor udang beku lebih baik dibanding udang segar dan udang olahan, dilihat dari aspek efek komposisi produk dan dan efek daya saing, namun dari aspek efek distribusi udang beku dan udang segar kalah dibanding dengan udang olahan. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa udang beku Indonesia memiliki potensi yang sangat besar untuk dikembangkan, walaupun dari aspek distribusi masih lemah (ditunjukkan dengan nilai yang bertanda negatif). Hasil CMS menunjukkan bahwa ekspor udang Indonesia masih berfokus pada udang beku saja, dan kurang memprioritaskan udang segar dan udang olahan. Hal tersebutmenunjukkan bahwa perlu adanya evaluasi baik dari sisi produksi, distribusi dan mutu produk untuk meningkatkan kinerja produk terutama di udang segar maupun olahan. Title: Export Performance of Indonesian Shrimp In the United States During 2009-2017: A Constant Market Share Model Approach  Export is an important sector to calculate the economic growth of the country. Shrimp is one of main commodity that gives significant contribution to Indonesia economic. The research was aimed at analyzing the export performance of Indonesian shrimp in the United States during 2009-2017. Specifically, the shrimps were grouped into three categories, frozen shrimp, fresh shrimp, and processed shrimp. Constant Market Share (CMS) approach was used in this study. This study used secondary data from 2009 to 2017 that were collected from the United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics Division (UN Comtrade) and International Trade Center (ITC). The average growth of Indonesia shrimp was higher than the average growth of the world shrimp exports. The result of CMS suggested that export performance of frozen shrimp was better than the fresh shrimp and processed shrimp based on product composition and competitiveness effect. However, processed shrimp was better than frozen shrimp and fresh shrimp in terms of distribution effect. The result showed that Indonesia shrimp exports were still focused only on frozen shrimp rather than fresh shrimp and processed shrimp. Frozen shrimp had a great potential of development despite of its poor distribution (negative value). This phenomenon suggested a necessary evaluation on the production, distribution, and product quality to improve the product performance especially on fresh shrimp and processed shrimp.

Abstract As for Hungary, core motivation factors in building economic relations are boosting the export performance of SMEs and attracting FDI projects of high added value. India as an export market is definitely a challenging target for Hungarian companies as geographic distance, cultural differences, infrastructure, and regulatory barriers can all be considered as pull-back factors. Nevertheless, an innovative product and international experience combined with the involvement of a local partner can result in success. India is one of the most important Asian investors in Hungary with a very diverse FDI stock in terms of economic sectors. Indian investors are mostly satisfied with the business environment in Hungary; however, labour shortage is considered as a challenge to be addressed. Compared to building relations with China, India today receives less attention in Hungary. However, both governments could do a lot more in accelerating the interactions of Hungarian and Indian businesses and creating more opportunities to raise economic relations to the next level.

Resource Based Theory

In this study, the authors examine the effects of information systems/technologies (IS/T) on the performance of firms engaged in growth strategies based on mergers and acquisitions (M&A). A model derived from a resource-based theory of the firm is developed to predict the influence of IS/T on performance of firms. Data on the financial performance of 133 firms are used to gauge the impact of IS/T on various M&A objectives. The results suggest that IS/Ts implement M&A objectives that seek to increase overall efficiency better than those that seek to introduce new products or efforts to increase sales. Future studies to examine the process of introducing new products from resource-based theory are suggested.

Human factors research can identify desirable new product characteristics before engineering development takes place. Benefits derived from use of such research are discussed along with the merits of this technique in comparison with those normally used to identify new product concepts. Human factors research techniques are shown to provide a relatively inexpensive, reliable and objective method of defining new products when compared with methods presently used.

This paper examines the basis for the primacy advantages that pioneersenjoy, then applies it to the strategic plight of followers. The authors developand test a Model of Innovation Learning that shows how individuals relatetheir understanding of new products to those with which they've had previousexposure. In an application of the model to the introduction of a new packagedgood, three factors - relative advantage, expertise, and familiarity arefound to have statistically significant effects on perceived distinctiveness;and perceived distinctiveness is found to be a predictor of perceptual separationand primacy advantage. Suggestions are given to assist in strategy formulationdecisions for followers.
