International ISoLA Symposium on
Structural Changes and Market Dynamics in
the Healthcare Sector
In
Search of Value Creating Service Landscapes and
High-Performance Organizations
4-5 June 2009 - Potsdam
http://www.cs.uni-potsdam.de/isola-med-2009
Structural changes and
market dynamics will evolve as all-pervading forces
in the still highly regulated healthcare sector.
The competitiveness of the healthcare industry
increasingly hinges on the strategic competence to
create value for patients, insurance companies,
employees and investors, alike under conditions of
hyper-turbulence. While in the past, public
healthcare institutions took advantage of strong
national regulation regimes, free-wheeling market
forces in European service sectors will take on
added significance and endanger entrenched business
models. To make things worse, the demographic
changes towards geriatric societies and ensuing
chronic diseases may cause a financial collapse of
national healthcare institutions, which are
anything, but stable and robust. Thus innovative
and sophisticated paradigms, concepts and
strategies are needed to overcome existing
legacies, path dependencies and core rigidities
hampering value creation, innovation and cost
efficiency. Compared to fully competitive
industries, the healthcare sector, parenthetically,
shows classic signs of over-administration, but
under-management.
The symposium on
structural changes and market dynamics in the
healthcare sector invites creative
multi-perspective papers challenging conventional
wisdom. We want to provide an interdisciplinary
platform for strategic agenda setting and
prospective healthcare scenarios - bridging
'best practices' with 'best
theories'. Bearing in mind that the healthcare
sector is anything, but a sharply delineated
industry, merely resembling a loosely coupled
multi-institutional portfolio of (opportunistic)
value creators, value takers, payers and political
bodies, we aim at provoking critical insight from
multiple agents and stakeholders. In general, is
our dedicated interest to foster communication
flows between management, economics, and healthcare
administration on the one hand and medicine, care
and assisted ambient living on the other.
In this context we pose
the overarching question, if the healthcare sector
can and should be benchmarked against
high-performance (service and industrial)
organizations under conditions of intense
competition to capitalize on management and
leadership principles of the commercial
sector.
