Johnson and Johnson Case Analysis Introduction: Johnson and Johnson, commonly called J&J for short, is one of the world's well known, largest, most decentralized and most diversified health care companies. Since 1887, Johnson and Johnson has been producing, manufacturing and selling products related to human health and well-being. Today J&J has over 200 autonomous operating companies and do business globally specializing in consumer products, medical devices and diagnostics, and pharmaceuticals. Consumer products are the company's most recognizable segment, including popular brands like Tylenol, Johnson and Johnson Baby Shampoo and Band-Aid.

If J&J continues to be as decentralized as they are they will have a hard time adapting to change, communicating within the organization and contact within the organization will decrease as well. In the recommendation portion of this case analysis, I will be suggesting that the best way for J&J to become more centralized yet not completely decentralized would be to rely on clusters of companies rather than on continuously spinning off and making more and more decentralized autonomous sub-companies. My "cluster" approach would bunch together companies that are similar in nature, working on similar goals, performing similar functions and have similar customer bases. General Environment and Industry Analysis: Potential Opportunities and Threats The external environment consists of opportunities and threats. J&J can greatly benefit from taking advantage of opportunities. An opportunity that J&J can benefit from is the changes in Medicare insurance that have recently been enacted providing increased medical coverage to seniors with Medicare by covering prescription drugs. An article that I read in the Wall Street Journal stated that the new plan increases prescription drug coverage for senior citizens dramatically. This should increase the amount of prescription drug use in the U.S. Since pharmaceutical sales is J&J's largest segment, increases in prescription drug use can potentially increase sales and profits for

Smiley, a buyer from Carrefour Fashions, entered the store of a rival firm, Boulevard Boutique. The reason for his visit was to find out about the latest lines that Boulevard was carrying. Once Smiley entered the store he was recognized by Maldini, the store manager of Boulevard, who immediately called the store detective and told him to keep an eye on Smiley. Maldini then called the police, notifying them that he had a shoplifter in the store. Smiley never tried to leave, believing that Rocco, the store detective, would not permit him to do so. Once the police took Smiley to the station he explained the situation and was released.
When a law enforcement officer or other public employee is accused of potentially criminal conduct, they may face three different kinds of interviews or interrogations. If an officer is interviewed as a criminal suspect, they have the absolute right to decline to answer any questions, or to insist that they have a lawyer of their choosing to attend the interview. The first is type is during a criminal investigation; the second is during a disciplinary investigation and finally during the course of civil litigation where there has been damages. During a criminal interview, there is no professional, ethical or moral duty to participate especially without the assistance of an attorney to represent the officer under investigation. It has come to a surprise that many experienced officers will waive their right to silence and give the investigators an audio recorded statement. Some of the inexperienced criminals do not make incriminating statements. The motive for cooperation is to avoid unfavorable publicity.
By 1776, the Indians were so angry at the settlers that when the Revolutionary War broke out the Indians fought on the side of the British. The British Government had long supported the Indian right to property. Of course the British lost the war, and the settlers declared their independence from Britain, and the United States now was a formal government, which must lay out a plan to recognize the sovereignty of the Indians or their right to their land.
Most of Johnson and Johnson's success can be attributed to its emphasis on decentralized management, which allows for greater focus as the
I believe that it´s the same offender in the Parkinson case and the Johnson case, which is making the offender a serial killer because he has killed 3 people and it has been over a period over 30 days. By looking at different serial killer typologies my firm belief is that this offender will fall into the lust serial killer typology. I concluded this by firstly looking if the crimes were act-focused kills or process kills, I concluded it was process kills because the offender had taken the time to abduct both Parkinson and Johnson and didn 't just kill them right away like an act-focused killer would do. With the offender being a process killer he could only be organized as well because process killers cannot be disorganized. The offender would either be a lust killer, power-control killer or a thrill killer. I concluded that the offender in this case would not be a thrill serial killer, since this kind of murderer gets off my seeing his victims suffering, which is the most important factor for this type of offender. In the Parkinson and Johnson murders there were no signs of torture on the victims bodies and therefore I do not believe that this offender would be a thrill serial killer.
