Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning

Innovation is one of the most important issues in business research today. It has been studied in many independent research traditions. Our understanding and study of innovation can benefit from an integrative review of these research traditions. In so doing, we identify 16 topics relevant to marketing science, which we classify under five research fields: - Consumer response to innovation, including attempts to measure consumer innovative-ness, models of new product growth, and recent ideas on network externalities - Organizations and innovation, which are increasingly important as product development becomes more complex and tools more effective but demanding - Market entry strategies, which includes recent research on technology revolution, exten-sive marketing science research on strategies for entry, and issues of portfolio manage-ment - Prescriptive techniques for product development processes, which have been transformed through global pressures, increasingly accurate customer input, web-based communica-tion for dispersed and global product design, and new tools for dealing with complexity over time and across product lines - Defending against market entry and capturing the rewards of innovating, which includes extensive marketing science research on strategies of defense, managing through metrics and rewards to entrants For each topic, we summarize key concepts and highlight research challenges. For pre-scriptive research topics, we also review current thinking and applications. For descriptive top-ics, we review key findings.

Research on Innovation: A Review and Agenda for Marketing Science

Innovation is one of the most important issues in business research today. It has been studied in many independent research traditions. Our understanding and study of innovation can benefit from an integrative review of these research traditions. In so doing, we identify 16 topics relevant to marketing science, which we classify under five research fields:


Consumer response to innovation, including attempts to measure consumer innovativeness, models of new product growth, and recent ideas on network externalities; Organizations and innovation, which are increasingly important as product development becomes more complex and tools more effective but demanding;.
Market entry strategies, which includes recent research on technology revolution, extensive marketing science research on strategies for entry, and issues of portfolio management;
Prescriptive techniques for product development processes, which have been transformed through global pressures, increasingly accurate customer input, Web-based communication for dispersed and global product design, and new tools for dealing with complexity over time and across product lines;
Defending against market entry and capturing the rewards of innovating, which includes extensive marketing science research on strategies of defense, managing through metrics, and rewards to entrants.



For each topic, we summarize key concepts and highlight research challenges. For prescriptive research topics, we also review current thinking and applications. For descriptive topics, we review key findings.

A survey of variants and extensions of the resource-constrained project scheduling problem

In heterogeneous single-metal-site catalysts (HSMSCs) the active metal centres are located individually on a support and are stabilized by neighbouring surface atoms such as nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur. Modern characterization techniques allow the identification of these individual metal atoms on a given support, and the resulting materials are often referred as single-atom catalysts. Their electronic properties and catalytic activity are tuned by the interaction between the central metal and the neighbouring surface atoms, and their atomically dispersed nature allows for metal utilization of up to 100%. In this way, HSMSCs provide new opportunities for catalysis, and with respect to structure build a bridge between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, selected publications from 2010 in this area are reviewed and their perspectives for the near future are highlighted. Where appropriate, comparisons between HSMSCs and homogeneous/heterogeneous counterparts are presented. Single-atom catalysts have drawn increasing attention as methods for their preparation and characterization improve. Here, Beller and co-workers discuss the latest developments in the field of single-metal-site catalysts, discussing how this catalyst class bridges heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, and providing a perspective on how the field might continue to develop.
