Article Abstract:
The chemical supply industry used to be close to customers, but globalization and consolidation have changed things and heightened competition, so need for formalized market research and market monitoring has been more important. The domain of international market research within the chemical industry is described with an outline of roles international market research can play in developing new products and sustaining competitive advantage. Advice for companies getting into international market research is offered starting with the basics, explaining what market research is. Graphs show inadequate market analysis to be cited as one of the main causes of new product failure and show other data.

Article Abstract:
Metallomonomers are copolymerized with organic cross-linking agents. They form macroporous polymers and then are activated with an external reagent revealing an active catalyst. The appearance can be deceiving and perhaps beneficial. The article describes a specific strategy in which polymerizable metallomonomers are incorporated into macroporous polymers. Topics include homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, catalyst support and activation and future prospects with the use of the wolf in sheep's clothing strategy for getting transition metal catalysts into macroporous polymers.

Article Abstract:
This article examines the concept of organic synthesis form a traditional step-by-step approach to one-pot-coupled approach. Synthetic methods that combine bio- and organic synthesis for fine chemicals by one-pot multistep catalytic procedures to usage of bioengineered microbes to perform catalysis are discussed.
