Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

1. On the research facility -  A scientific game changing lab is bleeding profusely not because of its operational defects, but because it cant get support from the President, the doctors and the managers are quareling, the boss for the investors is blunt and unforgiving, and there is a lot of friction.  The strategy class does not handle  or delve on conflict resolution, and corporate politicsl

2.  Exercise on futlity  -  A GOCC is likely to fail in its mission as a cheap medicine procurement agency for the simple reason that the multi agency involved:  DOH DTI and the LGUS   (those are DTI, DILG, DOH)  will not buy from them, or that the admin code for buying , ie conducting the bidding that takes months even for their agency (these should not happen) That the student went through the ardous process of analysis can simply be solved by fiat or leadership move or a MoA wherein everybody promises to abide by the law.  And the law is clear (a simple case of insubordination, lack of communication, or cooperation)

3.  Family affair -  a student whose family owns a hospital proposes some brilliant analysis  and strategy.  But at the end of the day, nothing will happen and nothing will get done because her mother hates her, and sides with the other siblings,  her profession and her MBA cant move her mother to abide by her proposal.   The father on the other hand will not let go.

4. Some critical issues on revenue  - /This post appreciates more explanation on the data on the hospital in the south: 30% comes from PHIC, 30% comes from Diagnostics, and 30% comes from Pharma revenues, only 10% comes from admissions and board and lodging

It tells zillions that the hospital management and the strategist must mind the pharma, and diagnostics. That is why St Lukes and TMC makes zillions investments  for state of the art diagnostic sends their pharmacists to MBA, puts a pharma on every floor of the hospital, puts an ERP system for the pharma and that great relations must be made at PHIC, or beef our staff dealing with PHIC.  We should have had more time for that.

Since there are the main drivers of growth, they should guide the strategy and making the right decision
