more on innovation

The fourth masterclass entitled, 'The Mouse that Roared: Innovation,
Intrapreneurship and Acquisitions,' presented by Professor Dennis Shaughnessy
(Northeastern), explored topics such as platform acquisitions, intellectual
property, US corporate governance principles, and strategic entrepreneurship
in the life sciences, in the context of Shaughnessy's former company,
Charles River Laboratories. Intrapreneurship is a new spin on entrepreneurship
where it involves innovation within an established organisation. He also
discussed progress being made in relation to international manufacturing
operations of life sciences' companies. Shaughnessy was a senior executive
with Charles River Laboroatories, a Massachusetts based company that provides
enabling products and services to the global pharmaceutical, biotech and
medical device industries.
