CASE ANALYSIS for Biopure with respect to Pricing of Oxyglobin

Our group analyzed the case and concluded that price of oxyglobin should be determined on perceived value approach. We calculated perceived value from case data and arrived at a price of $181.

We are planning to launch it at a price of $175 to Vet so that there is some customer incentive to purchase and at same time, there is minimum ‘money left on table’. Below is the explanation for calculation of price and its corresponding reasoning.

    Biopure Corp. Case Study

    Oxyglobin and Hemopure are two blood substitutes that Biopure Corporation was developing. Oxyglobin was recently approved by the FDA for veterinary use while Hemapure is estimated to be approved in two years for human use. If Oxyglobin is launched it will be the first blood substitute for the veterinary market a small and price sensitive market. There is a perceived risk by Ted Jacobs, the VP of Human Clinical Trials at Biopure, that if Oxuglobin, the vet product, is launched before Hemopure and at the low price of $150/unit, that it will become very challenging to sell Hemopure once launched at $800/unit.…

    Marketing - Bionade Case

    In the 1980s, the mature German beer market experienced declining sales due to the emergence of trendy, lifestyle-softdrinks and alcoholic mixed drinks. Especially the small breweries were suffering from this development, such as the Bavarian Peter Brauerei. Thus the company had to come up with a new idea in order to keep the business running. In 1985, the master brewer Dieter Leipold (see attachment A2) started research on an organically brewed non-alcoholic drink, which he accomplished ten years later. With this innovative product, the company extended its product range and entered the beverage market, without having to invest in new production facilities. On the beverage market it had to compete with the established lemonades. While this is true it developed an own niche, the one of the organic lemonades, enabling the company to appeal to the health-conscious consumers and accordingly also sell through the organic food stores. As a result the company used a concentrated approach setting up a niche but developing to a differentiated target group only limited by the pricing strategy. The organic food market at that point of time was underdeveloped, as organic products had little access to the mass market and mostly had a rather dull image. In order to increase market share and ameliorate the brand image it was and is now crucial to get the product out of the niche onto the mass market. The market situation then changed drastically with upcoming food scandals like BSE, acrylamide, rotten meat and the social discussion on obese children. Suddenly, organic food was broadly accepted and demanded by consumers that were willing to pay for an added health value.…

    Sequential growth strategy: Biocon added businesses like enzymes, biopharmaceuticals, research services and drug development that were interlinked. Consolidation of core skills: Biocon had consolidated its core skills in enzymes (known to be the building blocks of biotech), established a footprint in biopharmaceuticals (which helped generate regular cash flow) and partnered with global firms (serving as launching pads for drug development). Biocon's Integrated Business Model: Biocon, along with its subsidiaries – Syngene and Clinigene, handles the entire lifecycle of a drug; right from discovery to commercialization (it has least expertise in commercialization). o Discovery Syngene Molecular Biology Synthetic Chemistry Biocon Microbial Fermentation Biodiversity Bioprocessing o Development Clinigene Clinical Research Clinical Development Clinical Trials o Commercialization Biocon Generics, main contributor to revenue: Bulk of their revenues came from generics. A generic drug typically cost 20 per cent to 80 per cent less because the product was not burdened with legacy expenses of research, development, clinical trials and marketing. Patent of Plafactor: Biocon secured a U.S. patent for a reactor it developed, known as plafactor. The patent gave the company exclusive global rights to use and license the technology for the manufacture of drugs involving genetically engineered microorganisms in a solid-state fermenter. Diversified and Specialized: From the company’s origins making enzymes for the breweries industry, Biocon had expanded and diversified into related fields during the next two decades. Biocon specialized in four broad areas: enzymes, biopharmaceuticals, custom research and clinical research.…
