In Transforming Big Pharma John Ansell addresses critically how
strategy works in the pharmaceutical industry. The long-standing
dearth of new products has led to a growing shortfall in revenues.
Ansell assesses the wide range of alternative strategies big pharma
companies have been pursuing in recent years in attempting to
overcome this. He shows that there is sound evidence to expect the
recent upturn in the number of new products reaching the market to
go on to greater heights. Chapters assess the complex trends in
attrition rates, show how rife spectacular sales underestimation in
the industry remains, and explain how conventional wisdom on the
chances of product profitability also seriously undersells the
industry. The surest route to transforming the prospects for big
pharma, Ansell contends, is to step up activity in acquiring and
developing new products. This is now realistic because, as he
shows, the amount of intellectual property available is much
greater than it was a decade ago. Ansell believes that no other
strategies have sufficient transformative powers, though they may
be useful as a stopgap whilst the sales of forthcoming new products
mature. He argues for a reversal of big pharma's recent cutbacks in
R&D and licensing, and re-focussing on new product development.
Transforming Big Pharma is intended for those in senior and middle
management in the pharmaceutical industry. It will also be valuable
to students, as well as to all those dealing with the industry,
including biotech companies and those providing services and
products to the pharmaceutical industry.
This festschrift collects a number of insightful essays by a group
of accomplished Christian scholars, all of who have either worked
with or studied under Hendrik Hart during his 35-year tenure as
Senior Member in Systematic Philosophy at the Institute for
Christian Studies, Toronto, Canada. As reflected in the title,
these essays are organized around the theme of responsibility,
which is central to Hart's philosophical work. Illustrating the
breadth of Hart's philosophical contributions, as well as the
diverse interests of the book's contributors, the essays contained
herein cover a diverse range of topics, including philosophy of
religion, moral philosophy, philosophy of science, aesthetics,
pragmatism, feminist thought, theology, and cultural studies.
