Ranbaxy approached Lilly in 1992 to investigate the possibility of supplying certain active ingredients or sourcing of intermediate products to Lilly in order to provide low-cost sources of intermediate pharmaceutical ingredients. The two companies had very different business focuses.

Eli Lilly’s decision to create a joint venture was not surprising (figure 1).

Pfizer is the largest American pharmaceutical company and one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. It competes with Merck and Glaxo, and markets such well-known medications as Celebrex and Viagra. However, the pharmaceutical industry as a whole has undergone changes in recent years with significant consolidation taking place and with increased scrutiny regarding the ways in which drugs are developed, tested and marketed. In addition, recent controversies have erupted regarding Merck's drug Vioxx, and Pfizer has been the target of unwanted publicity regarding its painkiller Celebrex. This research considers the strategic position of Pfizer, including its strengths and weaknesses as well

A company like Teva Pharmaceuticals is subject to all of the factors of the external environment given the nature of its business and global expansion. Pharmaceuticals is an industry where high profits can be achieved, but it is also an extremely challenging business when one considers all of the political/legal aspects involving government regulation and patents.

As we evaluate Novartis financial performance over the past few years, you are able to see in Figure 1 that there has been a growth in ROA, ROS and ROE which can be attributed to greater margins. The reason for the growth in the ROA and ROS is due to increasing margins because through utilizing the DuPont Equation we are quick to notice the steady decline in ATO. Therefore, Novartis has been more focused on making more money per product, rather than selling high volume at low margins. Throughout the time that Novartis has been increasing its profitability per product, there has also been a fluctuation in the EM. While the EM has been fluctuating over the past 5 years, you are able to determine that it is declining. The decline can be attributed to the fact that with the

* Patent Expiration - in the next four years, the two highest sales producing pharmaceutical products will go off patent. Patents on Merck’s Cozaar and Singulair will expire in February 2010 and August 2012, respectively, exposing about $8.2 billion worth of sales to generic competition.

Competition, typically the most powerful external force, is increased by the advent of globalization. The number of companies and the number of countries where these companies operate and the way governments are dealing with the impacts of globalization is accelerating. The interaction of changes in government policy and business innovation has actually made globalization even faster. If a company does not become a global, it would simply be shut out of new markets. The reasons for the turmoil are numerous: a sputtering economy, increased global competition, the implementation of new technologies that displace jobs, the deregulation of certain industries, and the general
