摘要

This chapter explores how the environmental complexities typical of medical innovation put an entrepreneur’s decision-making capabilities under heavy pressure. Innovation in the healthcare industry is a challenging discipline since—together with medical and technological knowledge—it requires a deep understanding of the managerial implications of five complex forces: industry players, funding, public policy, customer needs and constraints, and innovation accountability (Herzlinger, Why innovation in health care is so hard. Harvard Business Review, Vol. 1, 2006).
