| Abstract: | In this paper, the authors discuss the R&D process in the pharmaceutical / biotechnology industry from the viewpoint of four leading Canadian biotech startups. Based on a series of interviews with these firms, the authors outline the role of joint ventures and strategic alliances with university laboratories and with large established pharmaceutical firms in furthering these small firms' ambition of themselves becoming large and established. The authors find that the evolution of this industry has made this goal much harder to reach and the authors discuss the creative ways in which these firms have adapted and thrived. |
