Research Abstract |
The research explores what Japanese can do to eliminate the drug lag problem from the perspective of business strategy, especially outsourcing strategy. We interviewed several drug makers in US, UK, Switzerland and Japan. As the result, we found that overseas makers regard clinical development as labor intensive and standardized operations, while Japanese makers take it as critical activities for sales as well as development, making their operations complicated.
