Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Hampshire's book is aimed at the lay reader and its pages are peppered with practical advice and illustrative case studies” – Irish Times Business leaders are often too busy to familiarise themselves with the benefits and risks of technical undertakings such as new IT plans or changing digital platforms. Yet, if managed effectively, such initiatives can result in huge returns. Creating Value Through Technology provides CEOs, business owners and directors with a clear and accessible guide to the most prominent and profitable technologies that are available, allowing them to confidently implement and sustain new tech strategies. Different elements of the value chain can be supported and enhanced by different technologies – so it's important to understand how investments in tech can drive revenue growth, profitability and the valuation of a business. In this informative yet approachable book, Andrew Hampshire draws upon years of experience and an array of case studies to assess the potentiality and feasibility of different technologies in creating value based on a business's overall strategy. Andrew's book is centred around the basic levers of shareholder value creation: revenue growth, earnings growth and cash generation alongside the multiples used to value businesses. The book applies this framework to existing and burgeoning technologies, exploring where they can be best implemented and sustained to encourage growth. With Creating Value Through Technology, business leaders will discover a newfound confidence in incorporating technological strategies that will revolutionise their business for the digital age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern pharmacopeia has enormous power to alleviate disease, and owes its existence almost entirely to the work of the pharmaceutical industry. This book provides an introduction to the way the industry goes about the discovery and development of new drugs. The first part gives a brief historical account from its origins in the mediaeval apothecaries' trade, and discusses the changing understanding of what we mean by disease, and what therapy aims to achieve, as well as summarising case histories of the discovery and development of some important drugs. The second part focuses on the science and technology involved in the discovery process: the stages by which a promising new chemical entity is identified, from the starting point of a medical need and an idea for addressing it. A chapter on biopharmaceuticals, whose discovery and development tend to follow routes somewhat different from synthetic compounds, is included here, as well as accounts of patent issues that arise in the discovery phase, and a chapter on research management in this environment. The third section of the book deals with drug development: the work that has to be undertaken to turn the drug candidate that emerges from the discovery process into a product on the market. - The definitive introduction to how a pharmaceutical company goes about its business of discovering and developing drugs. The second edition has a new editor: Professor Raymond Hill ? non-executive director of Addex Pharmaceuticals, Covagen and of Orexo AB ?
