MANAGING THROUGH WISDOM

INTRODUCTION

The competitive landscape of the Indian business firm has seen a dynamic change in the 1990s as a result of dual institutional changes of economic liberalization and changing intellectual policy regimes. Liberalization and its accompanying changes in trade, industry, foreign investment and technology policy regime, triggered previously protected Indian companies towards capability enhancement. This translated into a two pronged competitive strategy by the Indian firm - the adoption of a defensive strategy was aimed at protecting its competitive position in the domestic market and an assertive strategy aimed at leveraging new opportunities through internationalization. This paper examines the changing strategic orientations of the Indian Pharmaceutical industry through a study of its international venturing. It finds that firms have used acquisition as well as alliances in the spirit of co-opetition rather than competition, both in the domestic and international market as an important element of the industry’s survival strategy.

    There's a time for everything. For Dr Ramakanta Panda, it was time to build a 'modern hospital' in India. As a cardiac surgeon from the prestigious Cleveland Clinic, US, he was known for his super-safe hands. But his ideas proved too radical for the design team. Whoever heard of picture windows to ward off ICU psychosis? Or counselling areas for patients' relatives? How would cafeteria, convenience store, library, public booth, Internet access, and hotel-like front desk create a "healing experience"? As modernity clashed with convention, Panda whisked the team off to the US to show at first hand what modern hospitals look like. Awed by his passion and armed with 5,000 photographs, they returned to translate his dream into concrete: the Asian Heart Institute (AHI) in Mumbai. Seven years later, Panda, known today as "the prime minister's surgeon", is busy planning yet another AHI. "A modern hospital focuses entirely on patient satisfaction," he says. "India didn't have that culture then. But it's quite standard now," he smiles. Indeed it is.…

    Globally, political pressure for health care cost containment and reform have lead gradually to more favorable legislation and policies supporting increased utilization of generics. Many of the top generic companies who themselves are now huge global players have seized on the opportunities as wave of blockbuster patents expires. They have inspired confidence in generic drugs as high quality, therapeutic equivalents to the brand. Today the generics hold approximately 35% share of the total US market by volume and some are even out pacing the big Pharmaceutical companies in earnings performance.

    The modern globalized world has triggered stark change in the actions of many of the actors in traditional society. One such actor that has embraced this change and recognized its benefits is in the area of international business. With globalization providing access to a myriad of new networks, markets, and technology at an unprecedented pace, international business firms have aligned themselves to capitalize on these new opportunities. While inter-firm alliances, mergers, and acquisitions are certainly not a new innovation in international business practice, the modern international business environment has seen a significant increase in the number of mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures in response to globalization. The motivations for these inter-firm alliances have also changed in conjunction with this recent trend. Traditionally, businesses engaged in inter-firm alliances, mergers, or acquisitions to either increase their market power in a region or territory, or to reduce a firm’s transaction costs. However, in accordance with the globalization of international business activity, firms have had new motivations emerge as reasons for inter-firm alliances, mergers, or acquisitions. The extent that these new motivations arise in firm activity must be examined by studying the following questions: i) why have motivations changed; ii) what are the factors that have led to the formation of these motivations; and, iii) how do these motivations lead the firm to choose on which form of activity to partake. Each of these questions will be addressed in turn.…

Technological - Technology evolution in the industry is fast and needs to be updated frequently to avoid being left behind with the first to implement radical new technology into the production process gaining 'first mover' advantages Legal - Many legal restraints to releasing drugs suitable for human consumption - High legal costs associated with passing drugs for human consumption and dealing with unforeseen side effects of a drug Environmental - Batch production processes of pharmaceutical products can have manufacturing plants based in multiple countries.
