Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 經營管理碩士學程(EMBA) === 99 === Bio-pharmaceutical industry on human health well-being highly influential, but also a industry of technical, capital intensive, long development periods, and high risk. Among the course of drug development, clinical trials are absolute the key to the process, and advance the development process from the pilot phase to the market phase. For pharmaceutical companies, if the clinical trial can be executed efficiently, they can shorten the test time and spending; seize the market in advance, and reap profits as soon as possible. In response to the important and complex clinical trial requirements, the Contract Research Organization (CRO) prospers and takes advantage of a favorable situation. The evolvement of the CRO industry in US is more than 40 years. In the foundation base in the past, the CRO industry has been towards convenience and customization and other niche market distribution, to meet new customer value propositions, innovative business models and pursue new growth opportunities. In this thesis, the author not only introduces the CRO’s business models in US, but also explores the CRO’s business models in Taiwan by way of case studies. Through the interaction and cooperation between domestic pharmaceutical companies and CROs, the author wants to find out if the business models of CROs are in line with customer needs. The author also wants to quest if the CROs can learn how to manage and operate a white space which the CROs hope to seize by way of the book Seizing the White Space lists four fundamental building blocks including customer value proposition, profit formula, key resources, and key processes that make a company business model works. The domestic CROs can adjust their strategy and business model for fitting customer’s value proposition.
