    The time will come when you'll need to interview someone to join your business or your existing team. If you work in a large organisation then this could be someone from inside the company. You might even be the owner of a small business and about to start your f
    According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
    irst employee. Whatever the situation, you're going to have to make a decision about whether this person is suitable for the job or not.

    I'm aware that in some organisations a middle manager may have a new team member picked for them. The applicant is either hir

    Examples of combination products may in

    What you're looking for is someone:

    *Who can deliver the out

    *Who'll fit with the company structure

    *Who'll fit with the existing team

    *Who'll respond to your style of managing

    *Who'll be happy in the job

    Let's look at each of these points in turn.

    Deliver the Outcomes

    The outcomes (you might call them go
    nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

    outcomes you need from them are probably more specific. These could be outcomes such as:

    *More orders (You'd want this from a sales person)

    *More happy customers who come back and also tell their friends (from someone in a customer service position) *Fast main

    *Well presented and delicious food (from a cook or chef)

    *A well run and efficient office (from an admin person)

    Outcomes are what you and your team are judged on. So you need to be clear in your own

    Following aspects would a

    Fit with the Company Structure

    You also need to think about whether the person you interview will be happy in your company and your culture. Some people who move from a large company to a much smaller

    Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
    Which combination prod
    one often find it hard to adjust and vice versa.

    You must ensure that the person you employ will be happy working within your structure. That's why good interviewing techniques are vital.

    Fit with the team

    Will the job applicant fit well with the existing team?

    As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

    How will the person respond to you, will they be able to work with your style of management?

    I've had applicants at an interview complain about their existing boss - "Do you know that he expects me to do such and such." And I've thought to myself, "That's
    ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

    Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust
    exactly what I'd be expecting also."

    You've must have a good connection with the person you bring into your team. That doesn't mean that you're going to be best buddies but you'll need to be able to work together.

    Consider if you're the kind of manager who like
    y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products
    s to work closely with your team and regularly check their progress. If so, you'll need an individual who wants structure and detail and is comfortable with close monitoring. If on the other hand, you're the kind of manager who sets outcomes and leaves the team

    As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

    Job applicants don't know what they're getting into when they start a new job. They might think they know but how
