When managing R&D departments for increased efficiency and effectiveness the focus has often been on organizational structure. Space is, however, of outstanding importance in an environment of large task uncertainty, which is the case in pharmaceutical R&D. Based on case studies about the Novartis campus in Basel, Switzerland, we propose some design principles for laboratory and office workspace to support the strong and weak ties of scientist networks. We address the diversity of technologies and specialization, as well as the pressure on time-to-market, as major challenges in pharmaceutical R&D.
在提高研发部门效率和效果的管理中,重点通常放在组织结构上。然而,在任务不确定性很大的环境中,空间是非常重要的,而制药研发正是如此。基于关于瑞士巴塞尔诺华园区的案例研究,我们提出了一些实验室和办公空间的设计原则,以支持科学家网络的强联系和弱联系。我们解决了制药研发中技术和专业化的多样性以及上市时间压力等主要挑战。
