Competency: examples of team-work, leadership or time management. Cases: 1. Estimate the market size of botox injection in the UK? 2. Imagine we have a company that has created a cannabis-based drug and they want to use it as a painkiller. What should they consider? 3. A healthcare case: they gave me three methods by which hospitals get funding and explained them in one or two sentences. Then they asked me to find the pros and cons from the perspectives of the provider-the hospital-the patient. 4. We have a client pharma company that has created a drug for disease X but they found out it is good for disease Y and it has an edge over existing drugs for Y, but they do not specialise in this disease so what should they do?
