Illumina Final Goal

Our lives are a series of deliberate day-to-day decisions that develop into milestones which ultimately define who we are as individuals. One such defining point in my life is to pursue further education by obtaining a Master of Business Administration. The additional knowledge and skills that I will obtain will benefit me as I grow further in my career. My professional experience coupled with the Eller MBA will expand my knowledge as I work toward my short-term and long-term goals. The program will provide increased resources while utilizing my experience to enhance my leadership skills, work toward my life goals, expand my knowledge of business and bring personal experience and insight in accounting and finance to the program.

In order to do so, I need a deeper understanding of how a business is run, to learn all the peculiarities of the sports business management, and to enhance my persuasion and leadership skills in order to take on increasing responsibilities in my career. The MBA is the only degree that will help me acquire all of

I came to see business as my passion because of its diversity, as an entrepreneur you have the ability to make whatever you want out of your skill set, experience, and passion. I have looked at schools that have business programs among other options and liked the diversity but found myself concerned about the school's dedication the subject I wanted to devote the rest of my life to. Babson College’s dedication to entrepreneurship is something I never worry will falter. Babson is a college built on harnessing diversity to create in a competitive yet supportive community meticulously designed to support and challenge its students. This community is both welcoming and inspiring, and a place I want to call home.

I am very excited about entering an MBA program that will allow me to focus on my interest in healthcare management as well as provide me with the career possibilities and exposure to resources. My education and work experience have provided me with an excellent introduction to healthcare, and they have sparked my interest in management. I consider a Carlow MBA to be necessary since I need to gain a broader understanding of management and to sharpen my analytical skills in order to be successful. I develop an understanding of how to apply

I noticed that I became quite good at networking and starting collaborations in the healthcare industry. And again in my beloved city, I pictured my developing career. In five years from now, I aspire to be in a business development and licensing team. My profession will be to scan the world for opportunities: small biotech companies, founded by smart people from a plethora of cultural backgrounds. My PhD will provide me with the science backbone. But to become really successful, I will have to learn the theory behind business and management. Especially, I will have to deepen some topics even more with elective courses like Negotiations and Competitive Strategy. I need to grow as a person, therefore I am much looking forward to the PLD continuum. Finally, I have to put all this knowledge into an international perspective. It did not take much reasoning to find out that an EMBA would be the best next step to gain the experience and the

Tuck’s tailored core curriculum will help me piece together key business functions, while electives such as “The CEO Experience” and “Strategic Leadership” will force me to think big and think as a leader. The strength of Tuck’s general management education and its application during FYP will guarantee success in my post-MBA development program. Meanwhile, Tuck’s dedication to global exposure will imbue me with a renewed world view, allowing me to understand diverse markets and cultures. Finally, I am excited to return to a community similar to the one I experienced in

The biotech firm Amgen Inc. gives much attention and time to the planning process. Because the outcomes for a company like Amgen are often very unsure and many employees are quite sceptical about the use of such a planning, the main issue can be described as follows:

The current business model perpetuates the mindset of big pharmaceutical companies. Chatman (2014) postulates the mindset of drug giants is “to reap tens of billions of dollars in annual sales” yet with no motivation for future industry innovation. Genentech’s new business model must foster an environment for innovation. Innovation assists in generating products into the pipeline. Promoting an open work environment can allow freedom of product development. Inspiring innovation was once a key element in Genentech’s success story (Bianchi, M. et al. (2012).

I am motivated to join in a senior analyst, consumer scientific innovation role at Johnson & Johnson Innovation as it is at the forefront of innovation ecosystems based on its successful JLABS model. I believe the convergence between consumer health, behavioral science and technology innovation has the power to accelerate disease interception solutions to healthcare challenges and personalize consumer experience to truly meet their needs.

- The biotech industry is a very uncertain environment top operate in. Giving a quantative planning can create a false sense of accuracy. That way a planning can lose much of it’s added value and confidence in planning might even disappear altogether. Strong points in Amgen’s planning is that the company focuses mainly on qualitative aspects. It should be remarked however that Amgen is in the luxurious situation that because of two very successful products she is not (totally) dependent on external investments.

At the Introduction to PD workshop I identified two broad reasons why I decided to pursue my MBA. The first was to develop my competence as a manager. The second and more important reason was to advance my career by making myself more marketable. The job market today is undoubtedly very competitive and I realised that a first degree was not sufficient if I wanted to 'climb the corporate ladder'. It is hoped that this MBA would help me to take advantage of any future opportunities when they become available. My personal development journey thus far has quite

I don’t want to sacrifice education quality just because the courses are from an online program. The reputation of an education from Syracuse University has removed any doubt from my mind. Program courses such as Strategic Management and Project Management really caught my attention as classes that will substantially add value to my current portfolio of skills. Learning how to develop strategies to create and sustain competitive advantage is a concept that I know will allow me to grow professionally and bring more value to my team at work. I believe that successfully graduating from the Syracuse MBA program will increase my credibility among business leaders and offer a career versatility not currently available to me. I have created a five year plan that guides my career path to becoming the Director of Logistics followed by obtaining the role of Vice President of Transportation within Preferred Materials, Inc.

• Currently, I’m working as SAS Analyst in Fresenius Kabi, IL. I have decided to pursue this field because of my interest in Pharma industry and towards management. My project mainly related to managing the team members, handling with the medical devices and clinical trials. We get the FDA submissions, where we are involved with the FDA members to discuss and market our medical devices. As there would be communication with the FDA

After Graduating with a First Class Degree from Annamalai University, I got the opportunity to work with USA based pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and Company (India) as a Business Development Manager. It was a really great opportunity for me to work with the world’s largest pharmaceutical company. At Eli Lilly, i learned many things like how to launch new products and creating

Kevin McDonnell, owner of BioMedical Research Ltd. (BMR) believed when he purchased the company that one of the product lines, Slendertone, could become a £100 million a year business by the year 2002. His strong belief in new product development as the “key to future growth,” led him in the journey to build a business based on this philosophy. Realizing that this ambitious goal would take more than product development and would also require a strong marketing plan, McDonnell placed faith in Brian O’Donohoe to build the marketing strategy that could cast Slendertone as a world-class brand. No doubt, BMR faced some challenges – identifying target markets, creating distribution channels, handling customer perception, as
