Career Guide
Big
Pharma needs an image makeover
Like the biblical Lucifer, the pharmaceutical industry seems
to have fallen from grace. Often seen as an industry that
is needed by all but liked by few, if at all, the pharma industry
is going through testing times
Managing
cross cultural teams
The world is no longer what it used to be. It has shrunk and
flattened into a 'global village' with a blurring of geographic
boundaries. The economics of business, today, demand organisations
to continuously seek new business opportunities in markets
across the globe
Engaged
employees drive innovation
Many people associate innovation with big transformational
ideas that are created in moments of sheer inspiration. But
more often than not, innovation is the product of a multitude
of small ideas, small changes across an organisation. Innovation
is typically a bottom-up process
Managing
talent
India is predominantly an agriculture based country and therefore
manpower was always in demand. Even after industrialisation
the situation has remained more or less the same
Total
rewards - what's in there for you?
The Indian economy has grown significantly over the last decade
and offers many options to young professionals looking to
chart a dynamic career
Building
employees as brand ambassadors
Of all the aspects of sales and marketing, branding has the
unique distinction of being the most subjective concept with
the most objective impact
Importance
of communication in team building
Communication in an organisation is akin to bloodstream in
human body. Human body at times develops arteriosclerosis
that impairs or retards efficiency
Nurture
young entrepreneurs to create dynamic leaders
As a company operating in the pharmaceuticals sector, a focus
on social causes is an extension of the company's core philosophy
-- to preserve the sanctity of life and aid ailing humanity
The
employability gap
The pharmaceuticals, life sciences and related industries
are facing a great challenge of talent at this moment
Career
options after B Pharm
Pharmacy graduates have a wide array of career options and
as a result there has been a huge demand for the admissions
to Bachelor of Pharmacy (B Pharm) course in India
The
need for bridge courses
Today, increasing competition and the speed at which knowledge
is updated and outdated, has ensured that 'continuous learning'
and re-training are the norm than the exception
How
to build a great pharma career?
Do all the guys and girls who stand first in the class make
it to the highest rung of the corporate ladder? Logically,
they should be doing exceedingly well than others
Training
for pharma entrepreneurs
Only 60 production locations of Indian pharma sector have
been certified by the World Health Organisation (WHO), which
implies they comply with the strict quality standards imposed
by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Making
the right career choices in the current times
The year 2009 is going to be a difficult year for the Indian
economy. Slow down of growth and lack of visibility on its
revival will adversely impact investment decisions by corporate
India at large
Careers
in clinical research: Myths and facts
A graduate in life sciences or medical sciences is often at
cross roads after completion of his/her degree. Many of them
are not confident of their career and are anxious about their
next move
HR
challenges in the CRO industry- glimpses
The CRO industry in India is barely more than 10 years old,
yet has evolved as a provider of various services to the global
pharmaceutical industry, broadly in the domains of clinical
trials, data management, biostatistics and laboratory services
Specialise
in pharmacovigilance and data management
These are exciting times in the field of clinical research.
Not only is the stream of applied science gaining importance
in both educational as well as industry terms, but with newer
avenues of excellence opening up within the stream itself,
for educationists like us, it is extremely challenging to
work out specialised courses for students
Indian
professionals, global standards
India is widely seen as the most exciting country in the clinical
research world. Its potential to deliver large numbers of
patients into global clinical trials relatively rapidly, combined
with physicians' fluency in English (the global language of
clinical research) and a positive attitude towards the global
marketplace have put India at the top of many global study
managers' lists for consideration
Educated
- yes; but are you employable?
We are in an era of specialisation. Everything around us is
complex and we need specialists to deal with every small issue
Taking
up the industry recruitment challenge
Recruitment has been a perennial bugbear for the fast growing
life science sector sector. While the often discussed 'pains'
of recruitment continued to frustrate us, a lasting solution
seemed elusive
