Short description
This book gives an expert view of how the project management approach can be taken forward by the pharmaceutical industry over the next decade. The book integrates portfolio, program, and project management processes as fundamentals for effective and efficient drug product development. This discussion has already begun at conferences, including the Drug Information Association conference on project management held in Philadelphia in February 2005, for which book editor Harpum was a co-chairperson.
