...pharmaceutical firm. In core research areas, scientists are mining new sources for inspiration, be it China or genetic engineering. At the same time, Roche's bosses, from their base in Basel, continue to lead the pack in acquiring expertise, a talent recently seen in the company's bid to control biotech superstar Genentech. Together, the two strategies form the nucleus of how Roche plans to deliver best-in-class products--faster, more cheaply and more reliably--to market.
