February 2005
In this issue of Life Sciences Monitor, Paul Earle and Jack Schlosser explore the trends in nonprofit healthcare board composition and recruitment in “An era of reform: Attracting today’s nonprofit healthcare trustee.” While the boards of nonprofit healthcare organizations are not required to comply with corporate governance requirements, many are adopting the governance best practices that are emerging from the corporate reform movement. An accompanying piece outlines specific steps for board improvement and renewal.
In a second article, “The Asian frontier: Big pharma’s new promised land,” Ken Eckhart, Koichi Naruse and Martin Tang examine the growing interest and investment by international pharmaceutical companies in developing Asia as an end market and center of drug development. Industry leaders discuss the opportunities that are spurring investment in China, Japan and Singapore, the challenges to fully realizing the opportunities in those countries and the talent needs and gaps in the region.
