Paper

Pharmaceutical companies, like other companies involved in development of new products and services, must find equilibrium in stakeholder interests. Often, the interests of one stakeholder cluster will conflict with the interests of another stakeholder group. For instance, productivity and sales may benefit shareholders and employees, but may not help consumers, if a product is unsafe. The safety of the new AD23 drug for Alzheimer 's comes under supplementary scrutiny, as it did not receive FDA approval before being presented to patients. Pharma Care bypassed FDA consent by evolving a subsidiary, Comp Care, to serve as a compounding pharmacy filling instructions for the drug ordered by physicians. The ethical concern is based on promoting a product without knowing all the possible side effects or harm caused to patients, without the improvement of conducting clinical legal proceedings and seeking FDA approval. Off label use of prescription medicines is often promoted with little rigid data to help clients and their physicians make sound, safe choices for usage.

to fully explore the body of knowledge of human resources, fully expand on the insights that it

In this paper, I will cover ethical issues within the pharmaceutical industry, present opinion on Direct-to-Consumer marketing by drug companies, determine the parties responsible for regulation of compounding pharmacies, PharmaCARE used U.S. law to protect its own intellectual property, summarize at least one current example of intellectual property theft, analyze the potential issues surrounding the death of John’s wife, and lastly present major arguments that John can claim as a whistleblower.

Upjohn Corporation has an ethical dilemma and needs to consider the fact that it is a drug company that is in business to heal people. The efficiency perspective may state that it is socially responsible to maximize the returns of the shareholders, but the social responsibility perspective states that it is socially irresponsible to only maximize shareholder wealth since the patients are also responsible for the firm’s existence. Additionally, if they follow the moral rights approach, they will do what’s right: not produce or sell anymore drugs that will kill its patients. If the company is in the business of healing people, why would they let their products kill people? The drug may produce $18,000,000 in revenue for the company per year, but life is too valuable for a price tag. There are other drugs on the market that offer similar benefits to Panalba without the risky side effects. Therefore, the negative externalities of Panalba far exceed its benefits. Hopefully Upjohn Corporation will choose to be anticipators rather than defenders (Pages

Moreover, CDU currently holds the patent for this drug, but what if a competitor who has/creates a similar drug enters the Canadian market? In such a scenario, CDU’s customers would switch immediately to the competition because no person would want to have it on their conscience that they support business decisions such as Brenda’s. In order for Brenda to be considered even remotely ethical he would need to give at least some thought into something or someone beyond himself and/or his bottom line. In simpler terms, Brenda has shown so much greed that he cannot be considered ethical

Research three to five (3-5) ethical issues relating to marketing and advertising, intellectual property, and regulation of product safety and examine whether PharmaCARE violated any of the issues in question.

This study is set to answer question on social phenomenon: How S/R protects people against TU. Researchers usually approached the study of social phenomenon with social constructivist worldview characterized by contextualization, flexibility, lack of determinism, and lack of structure (Creswell, 2012; Houghton et al., 2013; Schwab, & Syed, 2015). The design for this study, therefore, will be informal, non-structured, open-ended, and in-depth interview. Researcher and participant will explore participants’ spiritual/religion experiences in relation to non-tobacco use with questions grounded in the social learning theory. The interview will be two audio-recorded sessions, 30 - 60 minutes each, depending on each

The posable ethical dilemma is that is basically the named branded company holding back or causing a barrier for the generic is unethical (Payette, Grant, 2013). There are four moral principles that can be used as a guide line to increase medical ethics. With the ever growing price of in health care and the increasing cost of mediation it a wander if any of these four principles are being used (Payette, Grant, 2013).

There was an ethical issue which arose in the United States of America regarding Turing Pharmaceuticals messed up drug pricing (Timmerman 2015) that has gained a lot of attention in recent times. Ethics is the rules of conduct acknowledged in respect to a class of human actions or a group (Diffen 2016). Ethics is important as it affects not only the organization but the community and society at large (Spooner n.d.). This essay will discuss about how unethical Turing Pharmaceuticals acted in the case of price hiked in a 62-year-old AIDS drug. This is not the first time a drug price has hiked, but it is undeniably one of the largest hikes. Especially when the drug can make a difference between life and death, it is a serious ethical issue

In the specific case that I used in my previous post Stefan P. Kruszewski was filing a law suit against pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca for their fraudulent actions of off-label marketing and promotional practices for its atypical antipsychotic drug, Seroquel (Page). I found that his action were morally motivated using Professor Bowie’s 5 major parts to moral justification form the Business Ethics text book. The consideration that Kruszewski gave the most consideration to is Obligation and Effects. In conclusion of the research on the case, the obligations factor that he took into account was based on that companies are obligated to advertise and use products for their approved purposes. Which he found AstraZeneca was non-compliant with and

The primary ethical dilemma in this case revolves around corporate social responsibility and ethical practices versus profitability and maximizing shareholder wealth. In this case, Merck had to decide between profits at the center of the company’s shareholders wealth, the company’s image from a corporate social responsibility perspective, and the welfare of the community. The company had a responsibility to safely serve the public and meet the interest of all parties involved without compromising the interests of key stakeholders. Merck's practices regarding the Vioxx debacle were clearly designed towards generating profits, with no consideration given towards protecting the consumer. Consequently, they stand in clear violation of the principles

TWG Tea is an internationally recognized luxury tea brand established in Singapore and targeted toward affluent consumers. Australia is identified as offering strong future growth opportunities for the brand. Australia’s tea-drinking culture is already well established due to their former colonial ties with Britain. High disposable income has lead to luxury items becoming accessible to a large share of the Australian population. Competition within the teashop market also remains relatively low, with no competition currently existing within the luxury market. It is therefore recommended that TWG Tea use a contingency approach to enter the Australian market, making minor adaptations to their product offerings and

Codes of ethics are highly upheld in the control of the professional behavior of physicians and pharmacists. These codes have been used to promote integrity and care in the practices of healthcare professionals. Of crucial consideration is the pharmaceutical industry which Noordin (p.83) explains that it is the most highly regulated due to their role in the improving health quality. However, despite the presence of the ethical codes, it is worth noting that most companies in this industry operate to make profits. These pharmacies hence tend to influence the market to buy their manufactured products. Occasionally, adherence to the requirements of the code of ethics and economic interests of the companies collide causing

A Hawk eats bunny, the lion eats deer, and the bear eats fish. In every community, there is a predator. As a result, a survivor always dwells at the apex of the food chain. Same here in Thailand, the monopoly has grown massively in recent years by the business level strategy of CP All Public Company Limited which was established in Thailand under the 7-Eleven trademark. Several companies even they are real estate, mass media, or food chain have been acquired by CP as well. Due to the acquisitions of CP, people from middle-class encounter with a dilemma because whatever the businesses they do or products they sell, all have been done by CP too. In doing so, customers flock to buy CP products and leave other retail stores
