My overall goal is lowering the barrier to clinical access for patients which can be pursued both in long term and short term. In my current role as a senior engineer at Illumina, I lead a team of six engineers to develop the next generation of genetic analysis tools. Illumina’s mission is to improve human health by unlocking the power of the genome. My primary goal after obtaining my MBA from Anderson is to become a product manager at Illumina. I will be in charge of the marketing, planning, and production of a product at all stages its lifecycle. Both technical and business skill sets are crucial to be successful in this position. Although I have a solid technical background for this role, however I currently lack the business expertise. UCLA MBA program will give me the foundation to transition from the engineering area to product management.

My employer, Illumina, offers extensive mentorship and financial support to help startups launch through a program called: Illumina Accelerator. My strategy is to pitch my idea to this program where we co-register patients’ imaging data with their genetic information to customize and optimize their treatment plan. In order to achieve this goal, I need to acquire a business vision and learn about business. Fundamentals. UCLA MBA program can help me to learn the required skill sets for the entrepreneurship and how to manage business processes. Anderson has a unique hands-on curriculum with world class faculties that prepares the next generation of entrepreneurs. Moreover, it has a wide network of alumni and strong connection with different industries not only in California but also across the globe. All in all, I believe earning an MBA degree from a world-class education institute will dramatically impact my short-term and long-term
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 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.
In reviewing your suggested app, “Security Alert,” I felt your proposal was worth considering. With forty-percent of surveyed Americans feeling unsafe walking at night, this app could aid in reducing the anxieties associated with this fear as you had pointed out in your proposition (Sadd, 2011). Furthermore, with three-fourths of surveyed parents stating that child abduction was a fear that they held and one-third of these parents admitting it was a worry that affected them frequently, this app could even further reduce anxieties (Bilich, n.d.). Consequently, decreasing the apprehension that one might feel. Therefore, this shrinking of one’s level of stress, could aid in the development of better physical and emotional health, therefore lessening the risk of developing other stress-related disorders (Nevid, 2015, p. 357). Moreover, “Security Alert” could prove to be a valuable parenting support, should an actual abduction occur, as the “Red” option would allow for faster response time as you had also pointed out. Rapid response is critical in the recovery of an abducted child, as seventy-four percent of slayings occur within the first three hours after abduction (Bilich, n.d.).

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 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.
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

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
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.
