Published: September 2018

Here, we provide a comprehensive study related to the risks of all biopharmaceutical firms going public in the USA between 1996 and 2015. We found 355 firms that met our requirements for being in the sector that focuses on creating drugs for humans. Collectively, these firms spent approximately US$86.9 billion on research and development (R&D) during this time. They also lost approximately US$69.3 billion in combined net income. We also examine the delisting of these firms from a public market, their number of collaborators at the initial public offering (IPO), and estimate the percentage ownership by other biopharmaceutical firms at the IPO.

School of Business Administration, Shenyang Pharmaceutical University, Shenyang, China.

Background: With the introduction of the accelerated drug review policy in China, the clinical research and development time and the review and approval time of drugs have been shortened accordingly. Especially under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the vaccine formulations released through the accelerated review policy are springing up, and the question of how the accelerated review policy affects the investment portfolio of vaccine enterprises has also attracted more and more attention.

Aims And Methods: The article uses mixed-integer linear programming to develop a new model on portfolio planning for vaccine companies based on the accelerated review policy context.

Does the impact of open innovation depend on contextual factors? A case of the Korean biopharmaceutical industry.

PLoS One

November 2024

Graduate School of Public Health and Healthcare Management/Catholic Institute for Public Health and Healthcare Management, Songeui Medical Campus, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Korea.

Article Synopsis
  • - Investments in the biopharmaceutical industry are rising globally, and the importance of original technology and intellectual property rights is crucial due to the industry's technology-intensive nature.
  • - Open innovation (OI) is becoming more relevant in this sector because of high R&D costs and long development timelines, although research on how contextual factors impact the relationship between OI and innovation performance is limited, especially in developing countries.
  • - A study focusing on South Korean biopharmaceutical firms examined how factors like government R&D support, absorptive capacity, and alliance management capacity affect OI's impact on patent performance, finding that technological cooperation has a positive effect on patents, enhanced by strong government support and absorptive capacity.
