    Rise of India's Drug Industry

    There are number of factors that have contributed towards this phenomenal growth in the drug industry. The initial event that initiated the growth was India’s agreement with WTO which gave protection to intellectual property rights and assurance to international investors. Also, there are several internal factors within India which have successfully contributed to the growth of the industry. Similar to China, India has comparative advantage in manufacturing and packaging which encouraged Western companies to outsource in India. The comparative advantage has been gained due to abundance of educated work force, low wage rates and the wide spread use of English as a business language. This latter factor, the wide use of English language is one of the main reasons why Western companies chose India over China. For foreign investors, it is much easier to conduct business…

    Pharmaceutical Industry and E. Merck Ag

    Today Merck & Co, Inc. is one of the most recognizable companies in the pharmaceutical industry. When asked about Merck, most people think that it is and always has been a US company. However, the company’s history can be traced all the way back to the 1600’s where it was started in Darmstadt, Germany. Friedrich Jacob Merck purchased a local store in 1668 where he prepared and sold medicines. The store was called “At the sign of the Angels” and would remain in the Merck family for many generations (Merck & co., 2000). In 1827, Heinrich Emmanuel Merck and renamed E. MERCK AG transformed the store into a drug manufacturer. The pharmacy was so successful that by 1855 E. Merck AG was selling medications worldwide. It was at this time that Merck decided to send a company officer to the United States to set up a sales office. Once in the U.S. in 1899, Heinrich’s grandson George Merck bought one hundred and fifty acres in Rahway, New Jersey. A couple of years later, in 1903, Merck started production in its new U.S. headquarters. By this time Merck was not just producing drugs, it was also starting to produce different types of chemicals and there was also a research lab.…
