The healthcare professionals who save and extend our lives are
helpless without the medicines and technologies that have
revolutionised medical care. But the industry that invents, makes
and provides these indispensable tools is transforming under the
pressure of ageing populations, globalisation and revolutions in
biological and information technology. How this industry adapts and
evolves is vitally important to every one of us. This book looks
inside the heads and hearts of the people who lead the global
pharmaceutical and medical technology industry. It describes how
they make sense of their markets and the wider life sciences
economy. It reveals what they have learned about how to lead large,
complex organisations to compete in dynamic, global markets.
Leadership in the Life Sciences is essential reading for anyone
working in or with the pharmaceutical and medical technology
industry and its halo of supporting companies. Written as ten
succinct lessons, it gives the reader unique insight into what the
industry's leaders are thinking. Covering topics from leadership to
organisational culture, from change management to digital
disruption and from competitive strategy to value-creation, each
chapter distils the accumulated wisdom of those who lead the
complex and turbulent life sciences industry.
By any standard, the pharmaceutical industry's history has been a
successful one. In addition to its profits and shareholder
dividends, it has been seen by investors as relatively low risk
and, largely, counter-cyclical to stock market trends. However,
that important contribution appears to be petering out, with
significant global implications for employees, shareholders,
governments and patients. This is not just caused by the economic
crisis. Long before this, several distinct but related streams of
evidence emerged that now point to the stalling of the
pharmaceutical industry. The Future of Pharma examines the causes
of the industry's potential decline and offers a convincing and
rigorous analysis of the options open to it. What emerges is a
landscape defined, on the one hand, by the changing marketplace of
mass-market consumers, institutional healthcare systems and wealthy
individuals; and on the other by the alternate sources of
commercial value - innovative therapies; super-efficient processes,
supply chains and operations; and closer customer relations and
increasingly tailored health services. The challenges to the
pharmaceutical industry now and in the medium and long-term are
very significant. Brian Smith's highly readable research findings
are a wake-up call and a first step forward for anyone concerned
with the future of the industry; whether executive, customer,
policymaker or investor.

Darwin's Medicine is the sequel to Brian D. Smith's influential and
critically acclaimed Future of Pharma (Gower, 2011). Whereas the
earlier book predicted the evolution of the pharmaceutical market
and the business models of pharmaceutical companies, Darwin's
Medicine goes much deeper into the drivers of industry change and
how leading pharmaceutical and medical technology companies are
adapting their strategies, structures and capabilities in practice.
Through the lens of evolutionary science, Professor Smith explores
the speciation of new business models in the Life Sciences
Industry. This sophisticated and highly original approach offers
insights into: The mechanisms of evolution in this exceptional
industry; The six great technological and social shifts that are
shaping its landscape; The emergence of 26 distinct, new business
models; and The lessons that enable firms to direct and accelerate
their own evolution. These insights map out the industry's complex,
changing landscape and provide an invaluable guide to those firms
seeking to survive and thrive in this dynamic market. The book is
essential reading for anyone working in or studying the
pharmaceutical, medical technology and related sectors. It provides
a unique and novel way of making sense of the transformation we can
see going on around us and a practical, focused approach to
managing a firm's evolutionary trajectory.
The Role of the Military in Protecting the World's Water Resources
Proceedings is a workshop hosted and conducted by the Center for
Strategic Leadership of the U.S. army war college and sponsored by
the Principal Assistant Deputy Under Secretary of Defense on 3/5
November 1999.
In recent years, the Multiple Hypothesis Tracker has gained
acceptance as means of handling targets in ameasurement-clutter
environment. MHT algorithms rely on Gaussian mixture
representations of a target's current stateestimate, and the number
of components within these mixtures grows exponentially with each
successive sensor scan.Previous research into techniques that limit
the growth of Gaussian mixture components proved that the Integral
SquareError cost-function-based algorithm performs well in this
role. Also, multiple-model adaptive algorithms have been shownto
handle poorly-known target dynamics or targets that exhibit a large
range of maneuverability over time with excellentresults.
