So where do you go when your pipeline dries up and your products are going off patent?  What ‘value add’ can you bring to your organisation?  What areas could you, or should you, explore?  To give you a clue, consider GSK exploring the possibility of developing products from Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCMs).
