...World Wide Drug Case Introduction In this case, there are three parties who play substantial roles in this case: Ahmed Diba (Controller of the Body Products Division of World Wide Drugs), Cheryl Kelly (President of the same division), and the Executive Committee for World Wide Drugs (WWD). Diba is set to put together a proposal for a new product to be developed in the Body Products Division for WWD; the proposal was to be ultimately reviewed and decided upon by the WWD Executive Committee. However when complete, Kelly scans the report and criticizes the fact Diba included a variable cost for the product devoted to dealing with possible litigation fees. She ordered for it to be removed, as it would unnecessarily reduce the contribution margin for the product; thus reducing the likely of the project being accepted. However, she did assure Diba that he would be given a chance to mention the litigation fee to the executive committee when they would present the proposal. Unfortunately, Kelly never did tell Diba about the actual meeting and when it took place. Instead, she decided to attend the executive meeting on her own, and presented the proposal. It was only when the proposal was accepted by the committee and that their division was given the green light to operate, that Diba was told of what had transpired. Kelly’s reasoning for not bringing Ahmed along was that it would her division money if only she went, as the meeting was supposedly held in Toronto. Identification...

...Ahmed Diba is the controller of the Body Products Division of World Wide Drugs (WWD). It is located in Winnipeg, which is also the headquarters of WWD. Diba is helping develop a proposal for a new product to be called Vital Hair. This product is a cream to be rubbed on the scalp to restore hair growth. Cheryl Kelly, president of the division, and Diba are scheduled to make a presentation to the WWD executive committee on the expected profitability of Vital Hair. The fixed costs associated with the development, production, and marketing of Vital Hair are $25,000,000. Each customer will pay a doctor $98 per monthly treatment, of which $68 is paid to WWD. Diba estimates WWD’s variable costs per treatment to be $28.50. Included in this $28.50 is $9.25 for potential product litigation costs. Kelly is livid at Diba for including the $9.25 estimate. She argues that it is imperative to get the R&D funds approved (and quickly) and that any number that increases the breakeven point reduces the likelihood of the Vital Hair project being approved. She notes that WWD has had few successful lawsuits against it, in contrast to some recent “horrendous” experiences of competitors with breast implant products. Moreover, she is furious that Diba put the $9.25 amount in writing. “How do we know there will be any litigation problem?” She suggests Diba redo the report excluding the $9.25 litigation risk cost estimate. “Put it on the chalkboard in the executive committee room, if you...

After some time his cousin brother Mohan Singh bought the company from his cousins Ranjit Singh and Gurbax Singh. Ranbaxy's name is a fusion of Ranjit and Gurbax's names.

In 2011, Ranbaxy Global Consumer Health Care received the OTC Company of the year award. The Indian government introduced patent legislation in 1970. However this only protected processes. Competitors were free to imitate products as long as they used a different process. This created a disadvantage for MNCs compared to local imitators, and they were further discouraged by the introduction of price controls on drugs and later (in 1973) by restrictions on the amount of equity they could hold in local companies. This clearly provided a spur for the development of local pharmaceutical companies such as Ranbaxy, which established its bulk drugs facility at...

...9/29/2013 Foundation: Pfizer is one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies by revenues, established in 1849, headquartered in New york, U.S.A. Pfizer started as a manufacturer of fine chemicals such as camphor, iodine, borax, citric acid and cream of tartar. The development of deep tank fermentation technique increased the production rate of citric acid by five fold and unlocked secrets to mass production of penicillin to meet high demand of this antibiotic during World War II. Further development of the fermentation techniques helped in reduction of cost of penicillin, which in turn aroused a need to research a new product with greater profit potential. Although citric acid became main product and launching pad of its growth in decades to follow, it was the discovery of Teramycin in 1950 that opened the doors to research based pharmaceutical company and a leading manufacturer of vitamins. Pfizer’s portfolio includes a wide array of medicines and vaccines for a wide range of conditions including areas of oncology, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, immunology and inflammation, neuroscience and pain. Pfizer “A pioneering spirit on the frontier of medicine” continues to focus on applying science and global resources to improve health and well-being at every stage of life.

Charles Pfizer started the company in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 1849. During World War II, Pfizer became concretely established as one of the United State’s top drug companies by producing the antibiotic penicillin for soldiers out at war aboard. By the 1950's, Pfizer began to establish headquarters in Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, Mexico, and England. This gave Pfizer a platform to be able to compete globally. Expanding aboard is a powerful concept that most companies during this time did not consider. In 2000, Pfizer merged with Warner-Lambert in order to acquire full rights to Liptor. Lipitor is a popular drug used to lower cholesterol levels in the body. In 2002, Pfizer decided to participate in another merger with Pharmacia. This strategic action lead Pfizer to become the world's largest pharmaceutical devoted solely to healthcare. Of course we all know that this was not the only reason why Pfizer wanted to merge with Pharmacia. Pfizer’s underlying reason for merging with Pharmacia was to gain the rights to the drug Celebrex. Celebrex is used to treat osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, acute pain, painful menstruation and menstrual symptoms Pfizer Inc. is currently made up of three major core business segments.

...Pharmacogenomics 1.Introduction: Genomics: The study of genes and their function. Genomics aims to understand the structure of the genome, including the mapping genes and sequencing the DNA. Genomics examines the molecular mechanisms and the interplay of genetic and environmental factors in disease. It is used to determine the entire DNA sequence of an organisms and a fine scale genetic mapping. The field also includes study of intra genomic phenomena such as Hetrosis, Epistasis, Pleiotropy and other interactions between loci and alleles within the genome. 2.History: The term genome was introduced by H. Winkler in 1920 to denote the complete set of chromosomal and extra chromosomal genes present in an organism, including a virus. This term is used in the same sense even today. The term genomics was coined by T.H. Roderick sometime in 1987 mean mapping and sequencing to analyze the structure and organization of genomes. But today genomics includes sequencing of genomes, determination of the complete set of proteins encoded by an organism, and the functioning of genes and metabolic pathways in an organism. Thus genomics not only deals with the determination of the genetic information present in an organism, but also with the understanding the mechanism by which this information is used by the organism. A major branch of genomics is still concerned with sequencing the...
