This paper empirically investigates the determinants of R&D diversification strategies in the drug industry. It enriches the existing literature by proposing to look at diversification factors, which reflect market and technological proximity of an R&D project towards other projects within a firm’s portfolio as well as R&D competition factors. Additionally, the characteristics of R&D in the mar...

Motivated by recent empirical observations made in industries like the automobile industry, this paper employs an agent-based industry simulation model to examine the strategic relationship between product diversification strategies in an industry and some aspects of the product innovation strategy of a single producer. In particular, it is established that an increase in the average degree of ...

The access to libraries of molecules with interesting biomolecular properties is a limiting step in the drug discovery process. By virtue of a long molecular evolution process, natural products are recognized as biologically validated starting points in structural space for library development. We introduce here a strategy to generate natural product-like libraries. A semisynthetic mixture of c...

This study investigates the impact of internationalization on the results achieved by agricultural cooperatives in the State of Parana, at the same time examining strategies for diversification of markets as well as diversification of products aimed exclusively at international markets. Of the 28 cooperatives to be included in the study, 67.9% returned valid structured questionnaires. The colle...

Abstract Various indicators are used to determine the level of company diversification. Their adequacy largely depends on structure production programme. Its essential feature is comparative weight main product in total scope company’s work. In this situation, intensity diversification process reflected by decrease volume due inclusion new products case, indicator can be comparing scale with ch...

The current analysis contributes to the literature on real exchange rate effect of development aid by separating allocated trade sector (Aid for Trade – AfT) from other flows. empirical findings show that higher AfT flows lead a depreciation in recipient economies, while generate an appreciation rate. total works through openness, export product diversification, and inward foreign direct invest...

Increasing diversity for case-based reasoning (CBR) is an issue that has recently drawn the attention of researchers in the CBR field. Several diversification techniques have been proposed and discussed in the literature. However, whether and to what extent those techniques can bring about benefits to end-users remains in question. In this paper, we report an experiment in applying a diversific...

Diversification analysis was developed with various objectives including increasing growth when the existing market/product has reached a maturity stage, maintaining stability by spreading risk of fluctuations in profit, credibility capital market, to avoid dependence on single good or product circulating fulfill wishes unsatisfied consumers, increase attractiveness interest sales turnover, pro...

A vertex irregular total k-labeling of a graph G with vertex set V and edge set E is an assignment of positive integer labels {1, 2, ..., k} to both vertices and edges so that the weights calculated at vertices are distinct. The total vertex irregularity strength of G, denoted by tvs(G)is the minimum value of the largest label k over all such irregular assignment. In this paper, we study the to...
