Big Pharma, small ambition | spiked

There is, in fact, nothing natural or evolutionary about the pharmaceutical giants’ lurch toward small laboratories outside the company. It also isn’t simply a fresh ruse aimed at higher profitability and generating greater shareholder value.

The results are not pretty.
