The exigencies of project timing and institutional culture, as well as the nature and volume of the sample stream, influence the flow and... 

What Dr. Libby at this time properly perceived as missing was exposure to the real world of problem-solving hence the need for a clinical kind of preparation. Thus the concept he proposed was to create the "Environmental Doctor" — the competent generalist, reasonably skilled in all aspects of the environment and expert in some, with the perception and judgement to select those few critical parts of a problem essential to its solution, and the management skills to assemble a team to perform the actual solution effort. 

The negotiating team will most often include US representatives who act on the US client company s behalf. It is clear, however, that the Chinese are reluctant to have American sellers or buyers represented by third-country parties. The Chinese prefer to deal with Americans representing American products and American companies. They are interested in learning about our thought processes, our marketing practices, our corporate management skills, as well as about our products, services and technology. Yet they have a sense of humor not unlike ours.

On the other hand, if you choose to adopt someone else s idea, you get to handle the challenge of taking it on board and working with it virtually as if It were your own.

Describe how pharmacy practitioners and educators viewed the need for management skills as the roles of pharmacists evolved. 

With the Code of Ethics suggesting that pharmacists not discuss drug therapies with their patients, the profession lost sight of the need for pharmacists to communicate effectively with patients and other health care professionals. As the number of hospital and chain pharmacies expanded, resulting in pharmacists being more likely to be employees rather than business owners, the importance of practice management skills was not stressed in schools of pharmacy. Ironically, studies such as the Dichter Report commissioned by the APhA revealed that consumers regarded pharmacists more as merchants than as health care professionals (Maine and Penna, 1996). 

The Millis Commission s report in 1975, Pharmacists for the Future The Report of the Study Commission on Pharmacy (Millis, 1975), suggested that pharmacists were inadequately prepared in systems analysis and management skills and had particular deficiencies in communicating with patients, physicians, and other health care professionals. A subsequent report suggested including more of the behavioral and social sciences in pharmacy curricula and encouraged more faculty participation and research in real problems of practice (Millis, 1976).
