I. Problems Nucleon is a small biotechnology start-up with a very promising potential product (CRP-1), which is also the first product that Nucleon is planning to go into the clinic market. Nucleon has reached to human clinical trials phase with its product and it has no manufacturing facilities that satisfy the guidelines for these clinical trials and testing. Nucleon is on the verge of making a critical choice of manufacturing strategy, which will affect Nucleon’s survival in the intense competition
3. What will competition in pharmaceuticals look like in 10 years? 4. What is your assessment of Pfizer’s position in the industry? What are the keys to success in the industry? 5. What recommendations would you make to Kindler? Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. The story of Wal-Mart’s rise to dominance is a standard case on resources and capabilities and how they contribute to sustainable competitive advantage. This case works well as a first case on resources and competitive advantage. It can Objectives
nuclear forces are involved? The nuclear force is the force amongst two or more nucleons. It is accountable for the attachment of protons and neutrons into atomic nuclei. The energy is released by the attachment causes the multitudes of nuclei to be less than the total mass of the protons and neutrons which form them; this is the energy used in nuclear power. The force is impressively appealing amongst nucleons at distances of about 1 femtometer (fm) between their centers, but rapidly decreases

weak and strong nuclear forces, electromagnetic force, and gravitational force. [xv] The effect of the strong nuclear force can be seen in the following way. In the universe, there are two basic types of nucleons – the proton and the neutron. Given these two nucleons, three kinds of double-nucleon could have been present in the universe: diproton (made of two protons and thus helium-2), deuteron (one proton and one neutron and thus hydrogen-2), and the dineutron (two neutrons combined). It turns out
liver and kidney, and he also believed it to be an acid. He wrote to his uncle, "With experiments using other tissues, it seems probable to me that a whole family of such slightly varying phosphorous-containing substances will appear, as a group of nucleons, equivalent to the proteins." Thus he had discovered nucleic acid, but it was two years before his work was published because his laboratory head wanted to replicate the results. Nuclein So Miescher had shown that the material inside the nucleus
