  • Master Thesis Master's Programme in Industrial Management and Innovation, 120 Credits
    Master Thesis Master's Programme in Industrial Management and Innovation, 120 credits Capturing Business Model Innovation Driven by the Emergence of New Technologies in Established Firms A Case Study at Siemens Healthineers Thesis in Industrial Innovation Management, 30 credits Halmstad 2018-06-16 Emma Bäckman, Josefin Ellmarker HALMSTAD UNIVERSITY Abstract Background: It is argued that the emergence of new technologies and the digitalization can improve the healthcare, make it more efficient, personalized and available for everyone. The healthcare has already begun to become more digitized and there is no doubt that this trend will continue. Moreover, it is argued that AI will have a major impact on the MedTech and healthcare industry. Problem discussion: To stay competitive it has been concluded that firms must update and rethink their business models constantly thus, to undertake business model innovation. This applies specially to established firms that have been successful with the same business model for a long time. Despite the fact that the existing literature addresses the importance of business model innovation, very little attention has been drawn to how to actually achieve this change. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore how business models in established firms within the MedTech industry develops over time due to the emergence of new technologies. More specifically, we focus on how artificial intelligence is influencing and will influence the business models in the MedTech industry. Methodology: This study has been performed through a single case study at Siemens Healthineers. The primary data has been gathered through four meetings with people with expertise in the field of artificial intelligence as well as the MedTech and healthcare industry.

  • Preclinical Development & IND Filing: Nuts, Bolts, Best Practices
    “Preclinical Development & IND Filing: Nuts, Bolts, Best Practices and Regulatory Aspects.” Speakers: Amit Kalgutkar (Pfizer), Chandra Prakash (Agios), Sanjeev Thohan (Novartis), Li- Chun Wang (Takeda), Wei Yin (Biogen) Organizers: Sanjeev Thohan and Chandra Prakash Date: 6/29/2017 Time: 8:30 am – 5.00 pm Location: Boston/Cambridge Area: Marriott Kendall Square, 50 Broadway, Cambridge MA 02142 Fees: $175 - Regular (before June 1st, 2017), $225 - Regular (after June 1st, 2017); $125 - Unemployed & Academic; $2000 - Major Sponsorship; $475 - Vendor Show Registration: www.PBSS.org Workshop Description: An investigational new drug application (IND) is an important milestone that marks the entry of a molecule into clinical development. Knowing the objectives, expectations and processes of assembling an IND is a key to not only successful filing, but also a promising clinical development path forward. Often there are cases where too many of our “nice-to-have” studies crowd the package at the expense of critical study needs/issues. This can lead to significant delays in clinical developments with back-and-forth of Q&A sessions both internally and with regulatory agencies. As we have seen, the regulatory landscape is changing as rapidly as the industry innovates into new therapeutic modalities. Therefore, it is critical to keep up to date on regulatory requirements and the industry’s best practices in different aspects of the IND: non- clinical safety, PK, CMC, and clinical plans. In this workshop, our speakers who bring years of experience with multiple successful IND filings, will discuss systematically the preclinical studies required for small molecule IND’s as well as the nuts and bolts of putting together a high–quality IND package.

  • Medical Additive Manufacturing/ 3D Printing Annual Report 2018 Improving Public Health
    Medical Additive Manufacturing/ 3D Printing Annual Report 2018 Improving Public Health Each year, healthcare needs and costs grow due to an aging population, the rise in chronic diseases, and more. In fact, global healthcare spending is projected to reach nearly $9 trillion by 20201. To address this, practitioners in the healthcare industry continue to look for innovations that can provide quality care to patients at a reasonable cost. But they can’t do it alone. Today, the manufacturing industry is an important partner, with one particularly bright opportunity focused on Medical Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing (AM3DP). From anatomical models to early bioprinting applications, the use of AM3DP is providing benefits for patients and physicians/institutions including: ■ Better patient outcomes ■ Less time in the operating room ■ Reduced costs In 2017, as outlined in this Annual Report, collaboration between hospitals, device manufacturers, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and partners such as SME, led to extraordinary strides in identifying industry trends, opportunities, challenges and solutions. These partnerships drive efficiency through best practice sharing as well as accelerate innovation for applications such as bioprinting and tissue fabrication. They also lay the groundwork for 3D printing of organs and scaling up production of tissues which are still decades away. With millions of patients already directly impacted by the technology, this momentum continues into 2018 and beyond where AM3DP will continue to positively impact public health and drive strong business results. This 2017 Annual Report covers: COVER: Justin Ryan holds a pediatric heart model 3D-printed at the ■ Industry Overview Phoenix Children’s Hospital Cardiac 3D Print Lab.

Atkins Bristol-Myers Squibb Company [email protected] Re: Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Incoming letter dated December 21, 2018 Dear Ms. Atkins: This letter is in response to your correspondence dated December 21, 2018 concerning the shareholder proposal (the “Proposal”) submitted to Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (the “Company”) by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (the “Proponent”) for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for its upcoming annual meeting of security holders. We also have received correspondence from the Proponent dated January 3, 2019.

In our view, the Proposal micromanages the Company by seeking to impose specific methods for implementing complex policies.
