Innovation can take many forms. An organization develops a new product or service. A new business model offers customers a new brand experience. A new strategic partnership is formed, resulting in new customer segments and new distribution or communication channels.

More than ever before, organizations view innovation as a strategic priority, giving them a competitive advantage over others, at a time in which most employees are asked to do much more with much less. Who has time to innovate? It’s tough enough to slog through daily operations without having to think up new ways of doing business, too.

Making innovation a strategic priority often requires that stakeholders make a shift in their thinking to make innovation a consistent, repeatable part of their daily business routine.

“Creativity thinks up new ideas, but innovation takes that idea and turns it into action,” explains Lisa Bodell, Founder and CEO of futurethink, adding that “Stakeholders need to separate good ideas from great ideas before turning that great idea into a business thought.”

Ideas are the easy part. Knowing what to do with them is the trick that turns a creative idea into a business innovation. Consider the Swiffer, that nifty collapsible mop with replaceable ends. During the research and development process, P & G took an ethnographic approach to determining what was missing when people cleaned their homes. Once the gap was identified, they created a need and subsequent demand for their innovative product.

Admittedly, not every organization has P & G-sized resources to combat hurdles to innovation which, in most organizations, include lack of time, money and inadequate staffing levels. Bodell states that other hurdles include “an evaluation process that squelches innovative ideas, no way to track the progress or success of innovation initiatives and no way to tap into the thinking of employees, partners and users.”

Event management is a process to manage and organize the events and functions on a very grand level. The process of the event management needs proper consultation, prior planning and deep research. During event management the responsibility of an event manager seems very important.  While managing an event it is very vital to give a serious consideration the ways to make the events handle effectively.

Event management is now becoming a booming industry that’s growing fastest as ever.  An event should manage with a proper strategy and with effective communication technologies. There are various things need to be considered while managing an event.

As an event manager one should consider the amount of money one could spend on the event. If you are organizing a fundraiser event your funds make a big difference. To make an event a big success, understanding and knowledge of the events means a lot to an event manager.   Events that are meant to execute some corporate strategies demand some other kind of knowledge and expertise.

Every event requires different sets of rules and regulations to become more and more successful. If the event is a concert or entertainment, gathering various supporting resources should be considered. Before executing the event with full moon you must decide that you have got the full understanding of event type and other statistics of the event.
It’s very important to know the number of the invitees who are expected to attend the event. The factors of venue and the sitting arrangements should also be taken in the consideration. Number of invitees should be accommodated in very accordance with the seats available. Once you get the understanding of the event you should assign the responsibilities to the various team members of the team.

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the impacts of strict patents in the pharmaceutical industry, focusing on the Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) Agreement. It discusses the historical and current policy context, to better understand how strict patents affect the availability of essential drugs in developing countries.

The research shows that the pharmaceutical industry prioritises profit above health. Strict patents reduce the availability and affordability of new essential drugs in developing countries, and thereby have a negative impact on the health of the world’s poor. Larger pharmaceutical companies benefit more than smaller companies because they have a monopoly in the industry. They invest more in research and development and, linked to economies of scale, are better positioned to exploit markets for new drugs.

The example of India highlights the importance of generic production and essential drugs in developing countries. It shows that while TRIPs promotes economic growth of the industry and encourages investment in research and development of new drugs, it increases the prices of new essential drugs, thereby isolating benefits from the majority poor populations in developing countries.

The paper suggests that based on historical and current trade policy, developed countries have an ethical obligation to allow poorer countries to develop infrastructure for their pharmaceutical industry, a responsibility not being fulfilled. It suggests TRIPs be revised under a more ethical framework. This includes increasing public funding of research and development, shortening the length of patents and allowing developing countries to generically produce essential drugs.

The paper highlights the interconnectedness of social, economic and political factors that could increase the availability of essential drugs in developing countries. It highlights the importance of better understanding the issues surrounding strict patents, and why the scientific community is critical to this process, in terms raising awareness and collaborating with independent organisations and concerned citizens to ultimately press governments for change at the national and international level.
