Abstract:
In the biomedical industry, unmet clinical needs necessitate research and technology innovation for human application, but innovation, and subsequent technology based entrepreneurial endeavors, lend themselves to a unique variety of challenges, even more so when the technology is intended for human application. Technologies intended for human use are highly regulated, as are the companies that design, develop, manufacture, and distribute these biomedical technologies; the intent of the regulations being to ultimately ensure patient safety. Engineering management and Technology Entrepreneurship programs have largely provided the management know-how and the science and engineering skills to address the uniqueness of a technology venture. However, these programs have not, on the whole, integrated the necessary interdisciplinary content into their curricula to address the explosion of new or changing regulations, and their impact on the stages of the entrepreneurial lifecycle. It requires a unique skillset and knowledge base to navigate the regulations and understand the level of influence on each phase of the entrepreneurial venture. This paper describes a cybernetics approach to enhancing Technical Entrepreneurship courses or Engineering Management programs, caused by the need to properly prepare and equip regulated biotechnology innovators and entrepreneurs to navigate the complexities of the regulatory environment, de-risk the regulatory threats to the enterprise, and accelerate the commercial viability of innovative biotechnology, for human use.
