This contributed volume presents a state-of-the-art compendium for
startups and corporations, focusing on corporate ventures. The book
is based on the volume "Strategy and Communication for Innovation"
and includes up-to-date discussions which help to better understand
strategy and communication from a startup perspective. Each chapter
offers a starting point for the exchange of ideas, key lessons and
new insights from entrepreneurial perspectives such as e-ventures,
corporate ventures and traditional ventures. Readers with an
interest in innovation management will benefit from this book.
This book reviews interagency research and development of classical
(importation) biological control of Bemisia tabaci (biotype B)
conducted in the USA from 1992- 2002. The successful discovery,
evaluation, release, and establishment of at least five exotic B.
tabaci natural enemies in rapid response to the devastating
infestations in the USA represents a landmark in interagency
cooperation and coordination of multiple disciplines. The review
covers all key aspects of the classical biocontrol program,
beginning with foreign exploration and quarantine culture, through
dev- opment of mass rearing methodology, laboratory and field
evaluation for efficacy, to field releases, integration with other
management approaches, and monitoring for establishment and
potential non-target impacts. The importance of morphological and
molecular taxonomy to the success of the program is also
emphasized. The book's contributors include 28 USDA, state
department of agriculture, and univ- sity scientists who
participated in various aspects of the project. Bemisia tabaci
continues to be a pest of major concern in many parts of the world,
especially since the recent spread of the Q biotype, so the
publication of a review of the biological control program for the B
biotype is especially timely. We anticipate that our review of the
natural enemies that were evaluated and which have established in
the USA will benefit researchers and IPM practitioners in other
nations affected by B. tabaci.

Invasive arthropods cause significant damage in agricultural crops
and natural environments across the globe. Potentially threatened
regions need to be prepared to prevent new pests from becoming
established. Therefore, information on pest identity, host range,
geographical distribution, biology, tools for detection and
identification are all essential to researchers and regulatory
personnel. This book focuses on the most recent invasive pests of
agricultural crops in temperate subtropical and tropical areas and
on potential invaders, discussing their spread, biology and
control.
