This paper investigates the management of innovation adopted by the European leader in sports equipment： Decathlon （Oxylane Group）. In recent years, vertical integration push and innovation have secured the company＇s leadership and success in a number of sports markets throughout Europe. It now has 909 stores located globally. Oxylane Group designs, manufactures, and sells sports products for sports people worldwide. It offers fitness, dance, gymnastics, and combat sports products; bicycles, equipment, and accessories; team sports products; nautical and water sports products （surf sports, diving, sailing, and kayaking products）; swimming products; mountain sports products （for hiking, mountain trailing, camping, skiing, and snow shoe hiking）; skiing and snowboarding products （for snowboarders and skiers）; and climbing and mountaineering products. The company is now a direct challenger for world sports leaders. Since the end of the 1990＇s, Decathlon different sports brands have not taken a unique and rational path to success. The company has built insights about its customers, identified and evaluated unique market opportunities, and prepared a bold game plan to seize them. By doing so, Decathlon has developed a stream of winning products. The process of new business creation generally splits into two parts： an upstream process （sensing and creating opportunities） and a downstream process （converting the selected opportunities into successful products）. Most businesses have a formal process implemented to manage the downstream part. Few that people know of have set up an equivalent process like Oxylane and Decathlon to sense and create new opportunities in the sports equipment industry. The aim of the paper is to examine how the brand has developed two of its successful product： the tent two seconds and the wetsuit ＂Inergy＂. These two products are chosen as examples to understand how the upstream process articulate with the downstream one.展开更多

Based on infestation of the early insect pest B. amydraula, the three-rotation program with basic 1st spray of spinosad 24 SC at 20 mL/100 L showed insignificant difference. Based on minimum effective rotation doses, alternating spinosad 24 SC at 20 mL/100 L, then methoxyfenozide 24 SC at 15 mL/100 L with two-week interval showed zero infestation and 1.8% at the last sample of 2010 and 2011, respectively. Based on infestation of the late insect pest, Cadra spp., tlhe same previous trend of the three-rotation results. Based on minimum effective rotation doses, alternating spinosad 24 SC at 20 mL/100 L, then methoxyfenozid 24 SC at 15 mL/100 L with three-week interval indicated less than 1% and 1% infestation during harvest for 2010 and 201 l, respectively. The last reflected important value when storing the fruit. Both products proved to be working under dry hot high temperatures.展开更多

The industrialized preparation parameters were optimized as follows： reaction temperature 85-95 ℃, oxygen flow rate 8-12 L/min, reaction time 210 min, the ratio of starch to water 1：5, 3.5 wt% of NaOH and 0.1 wt% of catalyst. The experimental results show that the concentration of hydrolysate-oxidaton product is 16-18 wt%. The powdered products were gained through dehydrated and powdered process using quadruple-effect evaporator, spray drying tower and guide shell mixer. The composting test indicates that the degradability of the oxidized corn starch can reach 76.4%. The complexation capacity of calcium ions reaches 108.5 mg per gram oxidized starch, and the detergency ratio （P） reaches 1.30 as builder.展开更多
