This chapter examines the recent history of humanitarian reform and how it has helped address internal displacement and forced migration. It looks at current debates on institutional mandates and responsibilities, as well as the implementation and practice of humanitarian reform. It discusses the failure of the collaborative approach to respond to the needs of, and to provide protection to, internally displaced persons and the shift toward the cluster approach that emphasizes predictable leadership, accountability, and partnership, with reference to the role of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

The U.S. pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry continues to lead the world in innovation and product sales. It accounts for nearly 40% of global pharmaceutical sales [34]. This industry is in fact one of the few in which the United States retains a commanding global lead. If the twenty-first century is to become known as the biotech era and the new pharmaceutical century, it will be very important to the United States that this leadership position be retained. 

Safety achievement is a team approach. All parties to the operation must participate and contribute. Without team cohesiveness, commitment and accountability objectives will not be met. Specifically important is the leadership of a team, which in business operations is the senior management. 

Senior organizational leadership should establish expectations for cyber security performance and hold individuals accountable for their performance. 

DuPont continued their leadership role in synthetic fibers by commercializing acrylic fibers (Orion) in 1950. They did a repeat performance in 1-953 with a polyester called Dacron. The big four fibers—Nylon 6, Nylon 66, acrylics, and polyester—now account for most of the synthetic production and about half of the fiber production of all kinds, including cotton, silk, and wool. 

Robust processes will have owners that have defined roles, responsibilities, and accountabilities. These process owners must be fully dedicated to their process. They must know their process capabilities and expectations, the interrelationship between their process and other processes and manage them like a business unto themselves. Functional management must support process owners, and leadership must understand and lead the QMS effort as an ongoing program, treating it as the integral part of the business that it is. 

Once the metrics program is in place, the system and process metrics require visibility to process owners, upper management, and stakeholders. Process owners require understanding of the metrics trends, issues, and associated risks. Stakeholders must work with the process owner to identify and propose process improvement opportunities. Leadership is accountable to understand the issues and associated risks and responsibly apply resources for remediation efforts. 

The guiding principle of metric development is to have a stable system or process to collect, review, and draw conclusions. All metrics should be developed with stakeholders input taking into account the requirements and needs of the customers. This includes the touch points of the downstream quality processes. Without this input and understanding metrics may be developed within a silo and hold little value, causing both frustration at the leadership as well as the staff level. Without proper... 

Insider accounts invariably point to Hollaender s oversized personality and his semiauthoritarian management style when assessing his role as a driving force in creating the EMS. There is little doubt that in this and other scientific ventures in which he was involved, Hollaender s charismatic leadership was a factor that must not be overlooked.3 His social location, professional status, administrative experience, and the subsequent legitimacy he lent to the incipient movement, however, were also critically important. 

Practising combinatorial chemistry enables companies to produce thousands of potential leads for a fraction of the cost of producing the same number of leads by traditional chemistry. This is probably why so many companies, in excess of 180, are involved in the field. These companies can be divided into four major categories, depending on their use of combinatorial chemistry—library makers, library value-adders, library users and finally hardware/software developers. The industry is, therefore, fragmented with no clear leadership position enjoyed by any single company. This also probably accounts for why the field is so rich in alliances and collaborations, whose value exceeds a few billion dollars and which occur among at least 130 of the 180 companies involved in combinatorial chemistry.
