Life Science Strategy

3 credits · Fuqua School of Business

We will examine product strategy in the biotech, device, and pharmaceutical industries. We will consider the perspectives of entrepreneurial start-ups, large incumbents, and companies in between. Life science product companies face new challenges and opportunities given rapid growth in emerging markets but increasing regulatory oversight and reimbursement challenges in developed markets. To succeed, industry professionals need a deep understanding of corporate strategy, financing options, product development and innovation management, regulatory and reimbursement trends, and customer needs. This course is for Global Executive MBA and Weekend Executive MBA students.
