Sounds like Merck may be transitioning to...@ 2:39pm<br />Sounds like Merck may be transitioning to open innovation R&D model... Academics will love it, they can scramble for open innovation funding to produce even more PhDs for this new 'flexible, nimble, low cost base' world. Now all Merck needs is a chest thumping politican telling all the children to go be chemists!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-12912445274704684172011-08-01T17:39:14.703-04:002011-08-01T17:39:14.703-04:00Either a troll or a mega-tool extraordinaire.
May...Either a troll or a mega-tool extraordinaire.<br /><br />Maybe it's just me, but something seems ominous about this press release: "Realities of our environment dictate the need to operate more flexibly and nimbly, from a lower cost base," said Frazier. While last week's announcement did not include specific information on R&D, Frazier indicated that further cuts in the lab are under consideration. "We are not in a business-as-usual mode when it comes to managing our investments in R&D. We continue to improve the decision process by which we commit to or discontinue projects."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-12210089779489617952011-08-01T15:08:00.436-04:002011-08-01T15:08:00.436-04:00I think it's a clever troll.

But, his position that lean Merck at the expense of experienced one will lead to easier life is sad. He will not realize that...until his job is on the line. All of us want little empathy for our fellow chemist, who lost his job for reasons other than chemistry in this troubling economic times. Not like, this chest thumping moron.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
