Abstract
As technology evolves and medical needs diversify, the pharmaceutical industry must accelerate its openness. This study analysed inter-organizational alliances in R&D for the new modality of oligonucleotide therapeutics to explore the requirements for establishing new markets. The results confirmed that the market has developed in stages, employing open innovation for different purposes according to technological progress. At each stage, it was crucial to form platforms among biotech companies on the drug discovery side, among pharmaceutical companies on the regulatory side and contract development manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) on the manufacturing side. These findings clarify the dynamics of open innovation in the biopharmaceutical industry and provide strategic implications for sustainable value creation in drug R&D.
期刊介绍:
Drug Discovery Today delivers informed and highly current reviews for the discovery community. The magazine addresses not only the rapid scientific developments in drug discovery associated technologies but also the management, commercial and regulatory issues that increasingly play a part in how R&D is planned, structured and executed.
Features include comment by international experts, news and analysis of important developments, reviews of key scientific and strategic issues, overviews of recent progress in specific therapeutic areas and conference reports.
