The Pharmaceutical Industry 1. Origins and Evolution The modern pharmaceutical industry is a highly competitive non-assembled1 global industry. Its origins can be traced back to the nascent chemical industry of the late nineteenth century in the Upper Rhine Valley near Basel, Switzerland when dyestuffs were found to have antiseptic properties. A host of modern pharmaceutical companies all started out as Rhine-based family dyestuff and chemical companies e.g. Hoffman-La Roche, Sandoz, Ciba-Geigy

the associated theoretical value due to the overall percent yield, which will be discussed further. Also, according to the same calculations made in calculation #1, the calculated mass for Bayer Aspirin was inaccurate as the calculated value was less than what was said by the company. In other words, the Bayer Aspirin did not contain 325mg of ASA, instead it actually contained 283mg. The percent purity of ASA was calculated to be 65.0 % and based on the reaction table, the limiting reagent was salicylic

This is because they both use each other to get the best information, order does not matter because they go together without mattering what’s done first. Both internal and external analyses allow firms to identify not only environmental threats and opportunities, but also it helps the firm identify its weaknesses and positive strengths of

an end-product or result. Rather than using research as a means of self indulgence, Sir John Vane uses the notion of blue-sky research to instead participate in what one is interested in. Advantages to blue-sky research include the development of Bayer aspirin and its’ effects on society today. Through genuine interest, Felix Hoffman was able to stumble upon the creation of aspirin, something beneficial to millions today. Ian Frazier connects blue-sky research to playing in the woods with an explanation
