The Two Towers Concluding Advice to Small Firms, Large Firms, and Governments -- Notes -- IndexWith many of the most important new military systems of the past decade produced by small firms that won competitive government contracts, defense-industry consultant James Hasik argues in Arms and Innovation that small firms have a number of advantages relative to their bigger competitors. Such firms are marked by an entrepreneurial spirit and fewer bureaucratic obstacles, and thus can both be more responsive to changes in the environment and more strategic in their planning. This is demonstrated, Hasik shows, by such innovation in military technologies as those that protect troops from roadside bombs in Iraq and the Predator drones that fly over active war zones and that are crucial to our new war on terror. For all their advantages, small firms also face significant challenges in access to capital and customers. To overcome such problems, they can form alliances either with each other or with larger companies. Hasik traces the trade-offs of such alliances and provides crucial insight into their promises and pitfalls. This ground-breaking study is a significant contribution to understanding both entrepreneurship and alliances, two crucial factors in business generally. It will be of interest to readers in the defense sector as well as the wider business community.

Adult, embryonic and recently available induced pluripotent stem cells not only foster our understanding of differentiation of endo-, ecto- and mesodermal lineages to all organs of the body, but foremost nourish the hope that cells grown in culture can be used for regeneration of diseased organs such as the heart damaged by myocardial infarction. This book focuses on perspectives of stem cells for regenerative therapy of cardiovascular diseases. Based on the EC consortium INELPY, it reviews the field and disseminates major outcomes of this project. Thus it introduces the reader to this fascinating area of research and incorporates very recent findings interesting to the expert, spanning the field from bench to bedside. The compilation of contributions is unique as there is yet no similar comprehensive overview combining stem cell research with preclinical and clinical evaluation as well as engineering of tissue patches for transplantation. As such it will be an invaluable source of information for all researchers in the stem cell and tissue regeneration field including bioengineers as well as for all clinicians interested in regenerative therapies, especially for ischemic cardiomyopathies.MedicineBiotechnologyCytologyStem cellsRegenerative medicineTissue engineeringCardiologyBiomedicine, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B0000XBiotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C12002Cell Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16008Stem Cellshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16010Regenerative Medicine/Tissue Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16080Cardiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33037Medicine.Biotechnology.Cytology.Stem cells.Regenerative medicine.Tissue engineering.Cardiology.Biomedicine, general.Biotechnology.Cell Biology.Stem Cells.Regenerative Medicine/Tissue Engineering.Cardiology.610.28Hescheler Jürgenedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHofer Erhardedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910298316203321Adult and Pluripotent Stem Cells2505641UNINA
