International Expansion Across the Ocean
The Business Case for Doing It Alone Versus Partnering
|
|
|
| |
|
| Program Overview |
|
| Young
biotechnology companies on both sides of the Pacific are often daunted
by the prospect of expanding internationally, especially American
companies thinking about expansion into Asia, and Japanese companies
considering expansion into North America and Europe. Their first
thoughts turn to partnership opportunities rather than doing it
entirely on their own. While partnerships promise a lower near-term
risk, the rewards of a successful “go it alone” strategy can far
outweigh the alternatives. This program addresses some of the key
issues arising in pursuit of such a strategy. |
