There was a growth of 2% in the sales of retail drug industry of the US. This is because; the retail segment has been growing at a steady pace for the last few years due to the positioning of healthcare products and services in the market (Redman, 2011). The positioning of drug stores in the market is well organized due to the presence of low average ticket, convenient locations, inflation, and flow of pharmacy traffic.…

CVS is a store that seems to be on every corner in every town in South Jersey. CVS stands for “Consumer Value Store” and they have been serving men and women since 1963. In 1967 the company opened its first pharmacy department, and in 1996 according to its website “CVS Corporation becomes a standalone company trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the CVS ticker.” CVS has much competition, whether it is Walgreens or Rite Aid, however there is something about that red sign that assures customers that CVS is the place to shop.

Over the past few years CVS has also allowed customers to shop online, in efforts to strengthening their E-business CVS corporation has always been a pioneer in their field and has always found new ways to innovate and inspire.…
This case involves convergent technologies, a blending of traditional and cutting-edge business models and an alliance between an established pharmaceutical provider and a fledgling, Information Technology based, Drug marketing firm. Together, these two companies endeavored to create a patient education and prescription drug compliance program by deploying the deep well of customer data acquired by Giant Foods and the proprietary software of Elensys Care services, Inc. Elensys uses information from Giants pharmacy to send personalized letters, written on pharmacy letterhead but often paid for by pharmaceutical companies, that remind customers to refill prescriptions and pitch new products to customers with particular ailments. Giant first tested the feasibility of running a drug compliance program in-house but quickly determined that its’ Information System requirements were too overwhelming and decided to outsource the program to Elensys.…

Now to my ____ point that three-levelled governments, benefit Australian states. Every resident in Australia depends on the link of the local, state and federal government. From garbage collection to immigration. Without even one of the three-levelled governments too much work and responsibility will be put on the local and federal governments, which may cause the destruction of all three governments. Without the state government, which one will take care of the health of Australians, the important education each and every student gets, the law and order and much more? Even if this role is evenly divided into the local and federal government it will still be too much for them. For example, the local government already has roads and footpaths to take care of, the planning of the towns and buildings, garbage collection and so many more. Also, the federal government has our country’s defence, foreign policy immigration issues, trade and commerce, our currency and many more. How could these governments cope with more work and more areas to cover? So my team and I believe that states and territories should not be abolished.…

Many individuals are completely unaware of the variety of job opportunities that a pharmacist has. Unfortunately, pharmacists are sometimes seen as “peel and stick” workers, and do not get enough credit for the tasks that they complete behind the scenes. Whether a health-system pharmacist, community pharmacist, federal pharmacist, or pharmacy director they all play an imperative role in the health of a patient. There are a many opportunities for a 21st century pharmacist in the health care system. And, in my opinion, these opportunities are only going to grow more and more in the next few years.…

In most deterministic manufacturing decision models, demand is either known or induced by pricing decisions in the period that the demand is experienced. However, in more realistic market scenarios consumers make purchase decisions with respect to price, not only in the current period, but also in past and future periods. We model a joint manufacturing/pricing decision problem, accounting for that portion of demand realized in each period that is induced by the interaction of pricing decisions in the current period and in previous periods. We formulate a mathematical programming model and develop solution techniques. We identify structural properties of our models and develop closed-form solutions and effective heuristics for various special cases of our models. Finally, we conduct extensive computational experiments to quantify the effectiveness of our heuristics and to develop managerial insights. Subject classifications: inventory/production: uncertainty, deterministic; planning horizons; operating characteristics; marketing: pricing.
