Strategic organization, analytical processes

Portfolio management concepts have been an accepted component of the financial services realm for decades, and the need to diversify risk continues to be an effective organizing principle for many financial instruments and analytic techniques. Risk assessment is also a key component in the pharmaceutical world, where as few as 1 in 5000 laboratory-tested compounds ever makes it to the market. As such, the pipeline portfolio is a critical indicator of the future of a pharmaceutical firm, and the process of analyzing and managing it effectively is of vital strategic importance.
