Why genentech

Genentech, a pioneer in biotechnology, is located in the industrial city of South San Francisco. The company recently merged with the world-renowned healthcare group Swiss Roche. They also have stringently maintained their values of passion, courage, and integrity through an ongoing industry push to redefine the meaning of health care.

You may think that a typical day at Genentech looks like this: scientists, hard at work, in pristine white coats, restlessly working to produce the next big synthetic drug. Genentech approaches biotech through several industry outlets. Genentech has also incorporated in its work an emphasis on diversity and inclusion, mentorship, and accessibility as mediums for innovation.

This allows for public participation in creating internal change. Genentech has also developed a series of Diversity Network Associations DNA to reach out to underrepresented groups working in biotech, including women, veterans, the LGBTQ community, and racial minorities. They also invest in mentorship programs, particularly Gene Academy, which provides low-income elementary schools with Genentech mentors to encourage STEM education and instill academic passion and interest within underprivileged youth.

It aids patients who lack health care plans, have high co-payment rates, or have been rejected by their own plans, by providing medicine free of charge to those qualified. Genentech deserves to be lauded for their use of their powerful corporate position to advocate and serve their communities, as well as their partnership with said communities to bring innovation, progress, and perspective to their services and products.

Published at Berkeley Haas for more than sixty years, California Management Review seeks to share knowledge that challenges convention and shows a better way of doing business.
