About the course
The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown into question many accepted assumptions about how life sciences companies operate, from supply chain to clinical development to customer-facing functions.
More than ever before, the dynamics and fast-paced changes in the new healthcare environment require cross-functional experts who go beyond silo thinking and can apply agile solutions to complex issues.
This programme is based on the key areas of a traditional MBA that have been rethought and tailored to today's life sciences industry. It provides you with the intellectual capital needed to excel as a high-performance manager in this fast-moving industry.
The healthcare industry is undergoing rapid and unparalleled change. Price pressure, increasing oversight from regulators, generics and biosimilars, ethical concerns, emerging markets, the rise of information technology (Big Data, AI, social media and digital communication channels) and changing customer expectations are just some of the issues that managers in pharma and life sciences have to confront. These and other drivers not only have an impact on your business strategy, but also challenge the existing processes, organizational structures and roles/skills in your organization. This programme will help you address these issues from the multiple perspectives of your business to support you in your current and future roles.
