On strategic choices faced by large pharmaceutical laboratories and their effect on innovation risk under fuzzy conditions

作者:

Highlights:

• Consensual fuzzy sets and rules are used to model innovation risk in large pharmaceutical laboratories.

• We combine expert knowledge with large and diverse datasets and embed it into the fuzzy inference systems.

• The fuzzy model captures the financial and pipeline sides of innovation risk of firms operating in uncertain environments.

• The model is used to evaluate innovation risk in a sample of 31 large pharmaceutical laboratories in the period 2008–2013.
