IMO the pereferred buyout scenario would be one that retains ARAID as a seperate subsidiary, similar to Imclone, Millenium and Genzyme.
That way the rapid and effective R&D can continue as well as the "high touch" apprach to patients and physicians that ARIAD excels at. The core managment would stay on, so less resistance.
Difference woudl be that there would be enough funds to expand trails on the various likely indications and allow managment to focus on that rather than raising funds.
