Chemistry Looks to the Future at Innovassynth

Abstract

This project researched a born global Indian enterprise in R&D that developed and leveraged knowledge-intensive business services in speciality chemicals, custom synthesis of pharma intermediates in drug discovery and contract research in non-infringing process routes co-evolving dynamic capabilities in partnership with multinationals from Europe, North America and Japan. Challenges concerned fostering a credible talent management ecosystem where scientific spirit and business pathways were pursued around unknown and unfamiliar projects challenging resource based views of the firm. An interesting facet of this was how the nexus of treaties with stakeholding constituents were configured and sustained for strategic management of intellectual capital and organizational knowledge.
