Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5blttl/risk_management_f)
has announced the addition of the “Risk
Management: Fixed & Mobile Enterprise Adoption Trends”
report to their offering.

Business reliance on communications is high and ever increasing. The
integrity and reliability of fixed and mobile telecommunications
infrastructure, and the information carried across the infrastructure,
is essential to sustain business communications. To this end,
enterprises have a heightened sense of awareness about the vital nature
of telecommunications and are taking measures to identify, quantify and
mitigate risks that could prohibit the ability for the business to
communicate or compromise the information being communicated.

Risk management practices related to telecommunications management have
evolved as cloud computing and mobility have broadened the span of
accessibility to business information. In this regard, the emphasis of
risk management is primarily focused on information security and
technical integrity. Financial risk associated with service
unavailability is also a concern to be evaluated. Despite perceived
technical and financial threats, enterprises vary widely in the actions
they take to mitigate these risks. This research identifies adoption of
risk management practices across a variety of topics commonly cited as
potential threats to telecommunications, which could negatively impact
the business.

This research explores enterprise risk management trends and adoption of
risk management practices addressing:

– Contract and budget financial liability

– Infrastructure reliability

– Information and communications threats

– Telecom management supporting Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity

Anyone involved in fixed and mobile telecom management should read this
report in order to understand:

– How are other organizations mitigating technical, operational and
financial risk?

– Which industry verticals are most likely to be mitigating
organizational risk?

– What percentage of companies have a Disaster Recovery / Business
Continuity plan?

– What are the most prominent Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity
strategies being deployed today?

– Who ultimately owns the assessment and monitoring of specific risk
categories within an organization?

Along with answering these critical questions, this report provides the
following benchmarks:

– Risk Management Activities Performed

– Financial Risk Avoidance Activities

– Loss of Productivity Risk Avoidance Activities

– Information Security Risk Avoidance Activities

– Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity Plan Adoption – Overall

– Percentage of Organizations with a DR / BC Plan – By Company Size

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qx6j4n/fmcg_going_multich)
has announced the addition of the “FMCG
Going Multichannel 2012″ report to their offering.

We understand that Amazon is preparing for a full on push into online
grocery in the EU, after having laid the ground and quietly launched the
service two years ago, by leveraging their marketplace operation to its
fullest potential. The pureplay is undoubtedly pursuing the right
strategy, as online grocery is taking off all over Europe, with a
renewed effort by the leading retailers in 2010/11 to capture sales
migrating to the online channel.

This raises the question of how the FMCG industry should react to these
latest developments. After all the internet offers many possibilities to
reestablish a meaningful relationship with customers and regain control
over pricing, promotions and brand presentations – without having
retailers involved. We believe that the FMCG industry has to become
multichannel. Having an online presence also enables manufacturers to
engage in market research and launch effective loyalty solutions.

Launching a FMCG online presence now is especially vital, as many
retailers have started to use their private label propositions as a key
differentiator from the competition, rather than just a way of boosting
their margins. This means that repelling the private label push from
retailers will only become harder for the FMCG industry in future.

Key Topics Covered:

– FMCG strategic business model options to exploit the online
opportunity, with real live case examples.

– How FMCG are going multichannel, taking a leaf out of non food
consumer goods companies’ book to go fishing where the fish are

– Mobile shopping walls: the arrival of m-commerce, innovative
online/offline hybrid models.

– Consumers as drivers of change, demanding multichannel capabilities
and m-commerce linking off and online worlds.

– The emergence of click & collect as an incremental sales driver

– Online data revolution and how cutting edge companies exploit the
potential of the internet for future growth, leading to a structural
shift in retailing.

– Discusses whether current FMCG sites are market research projects or a
genuine sales drivers.

– Explains the significance of online FMCG marketplaces in terms of
sales contribution and sales growth driver, data warehouse, range
multiplier

– Sets out our view that marketplace operations are most suitable to
FMCG shoppers’ needs,

– In depth profiles of leading marketplace operators in the FMCG space,
Amazon, Alice.com and Rakuten, also discusses marketplace ventures by
Carrefour, Ocado and Wal-Mart

– Spells out the enormous advantages and benefits third party
marketplace operators (such as Amazon) enjoy from offering the solution
to sellers

– Provides an answer to the question whether the industry should run a
proprietary scheme and what to look out for when setting up a FMCG
marketplace with a variety of corporate partners

THIS REPORT WILL ALLOW YOU TO

– Benchmark your online strategy against leading, cutting edge operators

– Find out whether it makes sense to partner or to compete with Amazon,
Alice.com, Rakuten or any other marketplace operator

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lffnp7/stem_cell_research)
has announced the addition of the “Stem
Cell Research Products: Opportunities, Tools & Technologies 2012
(Updated)” report to their offering.

Stem cells are primitive cells found in all multi-cellular organisms
that are characterized by self-renewal and the capacity to differentiate
into any mature cell type. Several broad categories of stem cells exist,
including embryonic stem cells, derived from blastocysts; fetal stem
cells, obtained from aborted fetuses; adult stem cells, found in adult
tissues; cord blood stem cells, isolated from umbilical tissue; dental
stem cells, derived from deciduous teeth; cancer stem cells, which give
rise to clonal populations of cells that form tumors or disperse in the
body; and animal stem cells, derived from non-human sources.

In a developing embryo, stem cells can differentiate into all of the
specialized embryonic tissues. In adult organisms, stem and progenitor
cells act as a repair system for the body, replenishing specialized
cells. Of interest to researchers is the potential for use of stem cells
in regenerative medicine to treat conditions ranging from diabetes, to
cardiovascular disease and neurological disorders. Additionally, the
ability to use stem cells to improve drug target validation and
toxicology screening is of intense interest to pharmaceutical companies.
Stem cells are also being studied for their ability to improve both the
understanding and treatment of birth disorders.

To facilitate research resulting from interest in these far-ranging
applications, a large and growing stem cells research products market
has emerged. Large companies selling stem cell research products include
Life Technologies, BD Biosciences, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and
Millipore, although dozens of other suppliers exist as well. Products
offered by these companies include: antibodies to stem cell antigens,
bead-based stem cell separation systems, stem cell protein purification
and analysis tools, tools for DNA and RNA-based characterization of stem
cells, stem cell culture and media reagents, stem cell specific growth
factors and cytokines, tools for stem cell gene regulation, a range of
stem cell services, tools for in vivo and in vitro stem cell tracking,
and stem cell lines.

This report explores current market conditions and provides guidance for
companies interested in developing strategically positioned stem cell
product lines.

Featured elements of this report include:

– What are novel stem cells research products that can be developed?

– What stem cells types are most frequently used by research scientists?

– Which species of stem cells do scientists prefer and what are the
factors driving this preference (access, pricing, funding, handling

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qts934/indian_chemical_in)
has announced the addition of the “Indian
Chemical Industry 2012″ report to their offering.

A key constituent of the Indian economy that accounts for about five
percent of the GDP, the Indian chemical industry has vital associations
with several other industries such as automotives, consumer durables,
food processing, iron and steel, textiles, paper, and engineering, among
others. It is the eighth largest sector in the world and the third
largest in Asia by volumes, after China and Japan. This report
encompasses an assessment of the chemicals industry in India, within the
context of the global industry, and the opportunities and challenges it
presents. The country’s chemical industry was estimated at USD 91
billion in 2011 and the authors believe that it has the potential to
reach USD 134 billion by 2015 growing at a CAGR of 10 percent. The
growth is expected to be driven by rising demand in end-use segments and
expanding exports fueled by increasing export competitiveness. The
dynamics that propel the industry, namely opportunities, competition,
infrastructure investment and regulatory policies are also studied in
the report.

The industry is a multi-product and multi-faceted one that comprises
basic chemicals, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, specialty chemicals,
agrochemicals and biotechnology and their sub segments. Within the sub
segments, the petrochemicals industry is growing the fastest, with a
rate of around 15 percent annually.

In India, the per-capita consumption of most of the finished products
under the chemicals sector is far below the world average, which
demonstrates the industry’s enormous potential for growth. The
government of India plans to invest USD 34 billion in three approved
Petroleum, Chemicals and Petrochemicals Investment Regions (PCPIRs); it
also plans to establish port-based chemical parks in special economic
zones (SEZs) in the next five years.

India has the potential to become a global chemical manufacturing hub if
the government and domestic players rise up to the challenge. It is
projected that USD 350 billion of the projected USD 1 trillion global
specialty chemical industry could move to Asia by 2020. In wake of this,
immense growth opportunities coupled with intense competition are acting
as major drivers behind the dynamic growth in certain segments.
