    It was a right strategy for Eli Lilly that started a joint venture with Ranbaxy to enter the Indian market. First of all, Ranbaxy was the second largest pharmaceutical company that manufactures bulk drugs and generic drugs in India, with a domestic market share of 15 per cent. It had established broad distribution network, and it was the second largest exporter of all products in India. Ranbaxy’s capital costs were 50 per cent to 75 per cent lower than those of comparable U.S. plants. Second, the timing was perfect for Eli Lilly to enter the Indian market. During 1970s, the Patents Act 1970 and the Drug Price Control Order (DPCO) was issued. And India was opening its drug market. Third, there was possibility to conduct cheap clinical trials in India.…

    The first two alternatives were somewhat consistent with Abgenix’ past business model that yielded revenues in two ways: 1) by issuing exclusive licenses to use XenoMouse for drug development targeting specific diseases to leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and 2) by undertaking the early stages of XenoMouse based drug development and subsequently selling off the rights to further develop and bring the drugs onto the market. In contrast, the “go-it-alone” method would require an expansion of Abgenix’ resource base and capabilities: a more risky approach with the potential of a relatively high value generation.…

    Merck Case

    • 4 Pages

    Merck had a 14% increase in sales between 1997 and 1998 and 22% increase in sales from 1998 – 1999, and a 13% annual increase in earnings over the same period. Merck’s business strategy consists of two parts: (1) developing and marketing new drugs through internal research, and (2) developing partnerships with smaller biotechnology companies. Since 1995, Merck had launched 15 new products that earned $5.9 billion on sales of $32.7 billion. Furthermore, Merck may agree to license new drugs from other firms and with its larger capital and greater assets, can assume the risk of submitting the drug through various regulatory approval phases. If the drug becomes profitable, Merck can earn significant cash flows while paying a royalty to the licensor. However, most important is the option that Merck has in deciding when to abandon or continue on this project (deferability or optionality). If Merck reaches a point when its expected NPV is negative, it can simply abandon the project. As a licensee, Merck can allow smaller biotechnology firms to focus on research and development. These smaller firms often have smaller budgets and are not financially or personnel equipped to handle the costly and long FDA approval process, and the subsequent marketing, distribution, and sales of new drugs. This task is better suited for a larger company, such as Merck, which has more resources and money.…
