Bayer is in a unique position as a global diversified life science company, with a mission to alleviate hunger and improve health. We propose that research-intensive firms such as Bayer must consider an R&amp;D innovation strategy in addition to a typical product innovation strategy to ensure successful short- and long-term R&amp;D-enabled value creation. To this end, we introduce an R&amp;D technology–product–market innovation framework and apply this framework to a case study involving the Life Science Collaboration (LSC) program, Bayer’s internal multidisciplinary R&amp;D seed fund. In the light of the innovation framework we propose, we show that the LSC’s community-driven decision-making enables broad strategic alignment with business needs while maintaining space for out-of-the-box ideas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":301,"journal":{"name":"Drug Discovery Today","volume":"30 3","pages":"Article 104325"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143583963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
