    Inter-industry innovations in terms of electric mobility: Should firms take a look outside their industry? Research Paper Inter-industry innovations in terms of electric mobility: Should firms take a look outside their industry? Stephan von Delft* * University of Münster, Institute of Business Administration at the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy, Leonardo-Campus 1, 48149 Münster, Germany, [email protected] The beginning electrification of the automotive powertrain is supposed to have a major impact on the automobile value chain - reshaping it significantly and brin- ging up new alliances, business models and knowledge bases. Such a transforma- tion of the value chain might fade boundaries between hitherto distinct knowled- ge bases, technologies, or industries. Over the past decades, the blurring of indus- try boundaries – the phenomenon of industry convergence – has gained attenti- on from researchers and practitioners. The anticipation of a convergence process plays an important role for strategic and innovation management decisions, e.g. for new business development, mergers and acquisitions or strategic partnerships. However, despite the relevance of convergence, it is often challenging for incum- bent firms to (1) foresee such a transformation of their environment, and (2) res- pond strategically to it. Hence, this study presents a tool to anticipate convergen- ce and strategic implications are discussed. 1 Introduction stitute rules of conducting business” (Hacklin et al., 2009, p. 723). Firms facing such a situation, thus Technological change is known as a key driver have to adapt to new knowledge bases and new of economic growth and prosperity (Schumpeter, technologies which do not belong to their former 1947; Abernathy and Utterback, 1978; Kondratieff, core competences or their traditional expertise 1979).

Methods: This prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint, multicenter, parallel-group, comparative study included 340 subjects with T2DM and no history of apparent CVD recruited at 24 clinical units. Subjects were randomly allocated to either the tofoglifozin treatment group (n 169) or conventional treatment group using drugs other than SGLT2 inhibitors (n 171). Primary outcomes were changes= in mean and maximum common carotid IMT measured by echography during= a 104-week treatment period. Results: In a mixed-efects model for repeated measures, the mean IMT of the common carotid artery (mean- IMT-CCA), along with the right and left maximum IMT of the CCA (max-IMT-CCA), signifcantly declined in both the tofoglifozin ( 0.132 mm, SE 0.007; 0.163 mm, SE 0.013; 0.170 mm, SE 0.020, respectively) and the control group ( 0.140 mm,− SE 0.006; 0.190 mm,− SE 0.012; 0.190 mm,− SE 0.020, respectively).

Notice Concerning the Renewal of a Policy for Large-scale Acquisitions of Terumo Shares (Takeover Defense Measures) In the Board of Directors held on April 30, 2008, Terumo Corporation decided upon the Company’s basic policy regarding those who control decisions on the Company’s financial and business policies. Giving consideration to this policy, the Company also decided upon introduction of policy for large-scale acquisitions of the Company’s shares (hereinafter referred to as the “Current Plan”) as a means to prevent decisions on the Company’s financial and business policies from being controlled by an inappropriate party. The Current Plan was approved by shareholders in the 93rd Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on June 27, 2008. The effective period of the Current Plan is until the conclusion of the final Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in the business year ending no more than three years from the time of the conclusion of the 93rd Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. Based on consideration of recent trends in debate on takeover defense measures including amendments of the law since the Current Plan was implemented and the Corporate Value Study Group established by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Company reaffirmed that the current policy should be maintained in the Board of Directors held on May 11, 2011, and passed a resolution to make revisions to the Current Plan required by amendments to the law (the revised plan is hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”) and renew the Current Plan in the form of the Plan as a means to prevent decisions on the Company’s financial and business policies from being controlled by an inappropriate party.
