Abstract

Biopharmaceutical enterprises represent classical examples of knowledge organisations that integrate multiple professional cultures. The two main professional groups that should cooperate for the success of the new biopharmaceutical venture—business people and scientists—have, however, different sets of values, which can determine intra-organisational tensions and conflicts. The present study attempts to identify the existing conflicts between the professional sub-cultures that coexist in a biopharmaceutical SME, and to analyse the conflict management procedures employed by the manager-entrepreneur to reconcile the interests, requirements and visions of various groups that work in the organisation.
