Sommario/riassunto

Business executives and managers are increasingly working in a highly competitive environment, where identifying the main drivers of performance is vital for the survival of firms. Intellectual capital is a crucial matter for firms worldwide, and the disclosure of intellectual capital has been identified as one of the major drivers of performance. This book examines the impact of intellectual capital disclosure on the performance of listed firms which adopt the balanced scorecard approach. The book is a product of research that offers innovative analysis and proves that managers of firms can use the disclosure of intellectual capital to boost performance. It reveals how using the balanced scorecard as a measurement tool for intellectual capital disclosure can drive the performance of firms. Students in postgraduate programmes and academics, as well as business executives and managers, will find this book to be an essential guide to maximizing intellectual capital disclosure to boost performance.

Sommario/riassunto

Studies in bioequivalence are the commonly accepted method to demonstrate therapeutic equivalence between two medicinal products. Savings in time and cost are substantial when using bioequivalence as an established surrogate marker of therapeutic equivalence. For this reason the design, performance and evaluation of bioequivalence studies have received major attention from academia, the pharmaceutical industry and health authorities. Bioequivalence Studies in Drug Development focuses on the planning, conducting, analysing and reporting of bioequivalence studies, covering all aspects r
