Social Network Theory
…demonstrates that the ties and relationships between individuals – and not the attributes of the individuals themselves – are what really matter!
• “Tools for Collaboration and Networking within and beyond the Enterprise” – Collaboration: a recursive process where two or
more people or organizations work together toward an intersection of common goals
– Networking: business opportunities are created through networks of like-minded business people.
– Enterprise Architecture: the organizing logic for business processes and IT infrastructure reflecting the integration and standardization requirements of the firm’s operating model.

Social Net’s & Pharma. Companies
Pharma. Industry
• Sales and marketing in pharma is traditionally a very expensive affair.
• Regulatory agencies exert significant control over the interaction.
• Pharma companies are extremely protective of the intellectual property (IP)
Perspective of Pharma. Marketing
• Quite simply social media significantly reduces the costs associated with engaging with consumers.
• This nullifies 2 of the issues above as it enables pharmaceutical companies to move the communication with their consumers prior to NDA approval since there isn't the huge financial risk associated with traditional media.
Traditional Mindset
Currently the impact of this is being underestimated for two reasons:– The sales and marketing departments are isolated
towards the end of the drug development process having very little contact with their research and development colleagues, and
– Without an actual marketable product the sales and marketing departments are at a loss as to what to sell.

Top 10 Pharma. Efforts In Social Media
1. Johnson & Johnson2. Glaxo-Smith-Kline3. Bayer4. Sanofi-Aventis5. Novartis
6. AstraZenecaUS7. Bristol-Myers Squibb 8. Roche9. Pfizer 10. Boehringer Ingelheim
Hence;
• It's no longer enough to simply sell products to consumers; it's no longer good enough just to have the sales and marketing people talking to their consumers after the drug development cycle is over.
• Engaging with your consumers from idea generation, through lead development and candidate selection, into the clinical phases and finally into sales and marketing is inevitable
