In this paper, we explore the possible consequences that pricing and reimbursement regulation may have on pharmaceutical innovation. We first investigate qualitatively how a pharmaceutical firm is likely to strategically respond in its R&D activities to pricing and reimbursement regulation. We then quantitatively evaluate these effects in the context of a calibrated decision-theoretic model of drug development in which a pharmaceutical firm is forward-looking and takes future pricing regulation into account in making current development decisions. Our findings indicate that, in designing optimal pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement regulation, the benefits of more affordable or cost-effective drugs must be traded against the costs of less pharmaceutical innovation, with fewer projects being developed in general and in particular in low-margin therapeutic areas and with little potential of being considered highly innovative at the time of market launch.

The purpose of this paper is to deepen our understanding of the MBA market. Our focus lies hereby on the customers, that is, on people who are interested in attending an MBA program and who are courted relentlessly by business schools. The paper analyzes why people do an MBA and how they select their favorite business schools and MBA programs. We particularly try to understand the differences between various groups of applicants based on gender, length of work experience, level of GMAT score, type of study, and nationality. The paper shows that different segments of applicants start an MBA for different reasons and display different preferences with respect to school selection, use of information sources as well as decision-making. We hope that the insights will help business schools make their marketing approaches even more effective.

Die Finanzmarktkrise zwingt alle Banken zur Überprüfung ihrer bisherigen Geschäftsmodelle. Dabei ist für die Entscheidung der künftigen Positionierung die Kenntnis der Treiber für den Erfolg (gemessen an Rendite/Volatilität) entscheidend. Vor diesem Hintergrund haben die Autoren eine empirische Analyse der Jahresabschlüsse 65 europäischer Banken über den Zeitraum der Jahre 2000 bis 2008 durchgeführt. Dabei wurden fünf Treiber für den Geschäftserfolg identifiziert: Wachstums-Dynamik, Portfolio-Mix, Unternehmensgröße, Kostenposition und relativer Marktanteil. Langfristig bedeutsam sind dabei nur Wachstums-Dynamik und Portfolio-Mix. Die drei übrigen Faktoren haben zwar einen bedeutenden, aber insgesamt ‚überschätzten' Einfluss. Auf der Basis dieser Analyse wird anschließend aufgezeigt, wie eine Umsetzung in die jeweilige Management-Agenda aussehen kann. Entscheidend ist hier die Kenntnis und Bewertung der eigenen Ausgangslage im Markowitz-Portfolio.
