Sneha Saha investigated the dynamics of individuals, groups, and organizations involved in interactive and collaborative processes within the field of GPCR-targeted cancer research.
In cancer research, value co-creation is essential for driving innovation across various organizational settings, such as universities, small businesses, and large pharmaceutical companies. In emerging fields like G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) research in oncology, collaboration is required to transform early discoveries. This necessity is specifically tied to the novel starting point of GPCR research. GPCR is crucial because of its key characteristics: it represents a new approach in cancer research.
The various perspectives on value co-creation in an emerging field are fostered through interdisciplinary learning and collaboration in cancer research. Saha provides real-world evidence of the impact of innovation management by linking fundamental research to an emerging domain, based on rigorous and reliable data. Furthermore, she demonstrates how resource orchestration is critical for scientific leadership in academia and for ambidexterity in high-tech SMEs. Her research offers a theory-driven, data-driven roadmap to understand the impact of ambidextrous value co-creation in cancer research.
