Summary |
As a knowledge-intensive services business, Innovassynth Technologies (Innovassynth) crucially depends on talent acquisition and retention and development of its talent pool and cutting-edge of technology leadership in niche segments of applied chemistry. Since the business consists of customized synthesis, contract R&D, and contract manufacturing, there is need for portfolio balancing and a steady stream of orders from customers, all of whom, are abroad. Marketing services for drug discovery to pharmaceutical and specialty chemical giants in North America, Japan, and Europe requires continuous investments in cutting-edge technologies for quality initiatives to sustain capabilities and credibility. The CEO's biggest headache is that the family business owners need to satisfy themselves that the returns on investments are acceptable and present opportunities for growth, despite accumulated losses. The business requires continuing investments and the majority shareholders are shy of debt capital. One way forward would be to raise capital through a private placement with an option to later go for a public issue with the listing. There are other options to consider too, such as inducting strong foreign partners who could invest as joint-venture partners or by establishing new companies for some of the different parts of the business portfolio. The CEO succession is the other big problem that could prompt divestment |
