As healthcare manufacturers struggle to adapt to the evolving requirements imposed by healthcare reform, one of the more broadly recognized needs is change to the industry’s commercial model. In their article How to Build a Post-Reform Commercial Model, published March 2, 2010 in Eye for Pharma, authors Michael Abrams, M.A., Managing Partner, and Bill Ott, M.B.A., Senior Consultant, discuss three disruptive strategies to sustain success in today’s rapidly changing marketplace.
