Optimizing the discovery organization for innovation.
Strategic management is the process of adapting organizational structure and management principles to fit the strategic goal of the business unit. The pharmaceutical industry has generally been expert at optimizing its organizations for drug development, but has rarely implemented different structures for the early discovery process, where the objective is innovation and the transformation of innovation into drug projects. Here, a set of strategic management methods is proposed, covering team composition, organizational structure, management principles and portfolio management, which are designed to increase the level of innovation in the early drug discovery process.
