- Case 1: Lauch und Pricing Strategy eines neuen Vaccines - relativ anspruchsvolls, da sehr vielschichtig. Mathematisch eher das obere Ende (alles im Detail ausrechnen, keine Vereinfachungen), qualitativ auch anspruchsvoll, häufiges Rückfragen "Warum genau? Was noch? Ist das wirklich so?". - Case 3: Kunde hat eine neue multi prupose drug entwickelt und gibt uns eine Longlist mit 800 Applikationen. Binnen 4 Wochen sollen die Top Applikationen selektiert werden - wie geht man vor?
