Collaborative Learning, Knowledge Management Framework, Pharmaceutical Innovation
Collaboration is dependent upon certain prerequisites which determine the extent of innovative behaviour within a commercial environment. The employee is faced with a bewildering array of potential information and knowledge sources, and the evolution of discussion based forums and groupware systems has added to this complexity. The paper seeks to examine the role a collaborative forum occupies within an R&D department of a large pharmaceutical company, using literature and case study derived evidence we construct a collaborative framework which addresses prominent issues relating to R&D innovation. The framework is intended as a preliminary guide to the areas of concern the practitioner should address, in order to offer a rounded collaborative solution to encourage innovation.
