Pfizer Research and Development: Commitment 1 The Department of Trade and Industry (U.K.) The 2005 R&D Scoreboard. Page 96. Available at: http://www.innovation.gov.uk/rd_scoreboard/. Accessed on Oct. 26, 2005.
The discovery of new drugs and their development into useful pharmaceuticals is central to the concept of medical progress. The U.S. pharmaceutical and biotech industries invested nearly $39 billion in research and development in 2004, with Pfizer leading the way with $7.7 billion and 12,500 scientists. 2,3 Years to create anew drug: 12-15 years Probability of Success: <1% Costs to create anew drug: Between $800 million and $1.7 billion Pfizer Research and Development: Key Points 2 PhRMA. Press Release. Feb. 18, 2005. Available at: http://www.phrma.org/mediaroom/press/releases/18.02.2005.1128.cfm. Accessed on Oct. 26, 2005. 3 Pfizer 2004 Annual Report.

Pfizer Research and Development: Risky Business • Only one in five medicines that enter clinical trials testing in humans is eventually approved for patient use by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 6 That's part of the risk involved in Pfizer's business of seeking out new and innovative health solutions. 6 Stanford Medical School's Academic Consortium for Clinical Excellence in Scientific Studies. Clinical Trials FAQ. Available at: http://clinicaltrials.stanford.edu/patients/ctfaq.html. Accessed on Oct. 26, 2005.
Seven Goals of a New Product Process • Goal #1: Quality of Execution • Goal #2: Sharper Focus, Better Prioritization • Goal #3: Fast-Paced Parallel Processing • Goal #4: A True Cross-Functional Team Approach • Goal #5: A Strong Market Orientation with the Voice of the Customer Built In • Goal #6: Better Homework Up-Front • Goal #7: Products with Competitive Advantage Source: Winning at New Products by Robert G. Cooper, p.115
