Abstract:

The role of the statistician within the pharmaceutical industry is well established. However, the tasks performed by statisticians are also a function of the size of the organization that they work for. As part of a smaller group, statisticians at a midsize company, as a rule, will have a greater opportunity to interact with a wider range of client groups, have more visibility within the organization, may have less resources at their disposal, and make a greater impact on the organization's bottom line. Thus, their development and training must not only reflect the technical aspects of their jobs, but should also include team building and negotiation skills, problem-solving, and efficient use of resources.
