Linking intellectual capital, organizational dynamics and the management of risk
The life sciences are undergoing structural changes in terms of their use of intellectual property, the location of research activities and clinical trials, in terms of their relationship with the public and with public authorities as well the outsourcing of significant parts of the innovation process. What is driving these changes? Are concepts and measures of 'value' changing in the life sciences? How do organizational dynamics affect stocks of intellectual capital? How will this influence the management of human and intellectual capital? What are the major risks that large life-science companies will face over the next 10 years?
