The future of warfare and intelligence is upon the american people today, and it is appears to be the size of a small fishing boat. Massive yet small, the DDG-1000 Zumwalt class stealth destroyer is cutting through naval regularity with innovative new offensive, stealth, and information technology. The Zumwalt will be known as the harbinger of technology and innovation in the upcoming years. Just as gunpowder and the machinegun have changed warfare forever,the Zumwalt marks the beginning of a new era.

From a strategic viewpoint, it is my belief that Pills & Co should make a play to purchase Star Genomics for these reasons:

By divesting IPD, Nova could focus on its specialty chemicals business, which would experience heavy investments and rapid growth in the coming years. While specialty chemicals may need to now source raw material from the market instead of IPD it maybe for the better since IPD was operating at a cost disadvantage. Our calculations also show that the rest of Nova, namely LPD and EPD, could do much better without IPD. The combination of LPD and EPD could be worth $920 million, according to projected cash flows derived from the pro forma income statement. If this value were realized, the value/sales ratio would be 2.5, which is much higher than the industry average of 0.7. The combination of LPD and EPD could be a star in the market!

The book “from Alchemy to IPO the business of Biotechnology” is a synopsis of the biotech industry from its inception to late 1900’s .

The case GE´s Imagination Breakthroughs: The Evo Project is a really interesting case, it talks about the dramatic change that the company General Electric had to face in order to grow, and the process that the CEO had to pass in his first years in charge of the company.

Genentech’s second challenge was manifested in deciding which business model to use. Genentech had to assess if pioneer technology that creates artificial DNA could flourish in a generating money-making product. During the genesis of Genentech, a conscious decision was made to assimilate the business model of large pharmaceutical companies. The pharmaceutical industry was driven by the creation of blockbuster producing drugs. This decision to adopt this business model was made despite the industry's giants facing decline in sales from expiring patents and lack of new innovative drugs to replace them.

The decision to pivot from a biotechnology company to a more vertically integrated seed company was likely one of the most important decisions in the history of Chromatin. By inserting itself into the multi-billion dollar market for sorghum, the company vastly increased its potential for profit. However, the leaders of Chromatin certainly did not take the decision likely. As Prof. Copenhaver outlined in his January 14 lecture, a vast number of factors needed to be taken into account before transitioning into Chromatin’s current business model.

Arthur Levinson led Genentech from a biotech baby to an industry leader, all the while dealing with serious challenges from competitors. He had a clear vision in his mind and a vivid picture of where to go, as well as a firm grasp on what success looks like and how and how to achieve it. When he took over Genentech as CEO the company was under a cloud and under investigation from the use of Human Growth Hormones without correct approvals for the methods they were using it, as well as the

This week examines developments from biotech companies AstraZeneca (AZN), Relypsa (RLYP), and Mast Therapeutics (MSTX) where recent FDA and management announcements have the potential to significantly impact the stock’s potential.

On September 20th Allergan (AGN) brought increased investor attention to the NASH market by buying two treatment developers, Tobira Therapeutics Inc. ($1.7 billion) and Akarna Therapeutics Ltd ($50 million) What could possibly compel AGN to pay a 498% premium for Tobira compared to its $38.91 closing price the day before? NASH is a disease with no FDA approved treatments, a large and perennially increasing market, and could represent a serious unmet medical need. This week aims to cut through the noise surrounding recent NASH events (like GALT’s September 27th Phase 2a failure) by exploring the potential treatment market opportunity and posing questions for an expert about what companies (including GILD, AGN, ICPT, GNFTF,GLMD and CNAT) deserve the most investor attention.
