    The business manager for MedTech Pharmaceuticals should closely analyze the current incentives the company provides for the employees. It seems the company thinks the 100% sales commission should be enough of an incentive for the employees to generate more sales (Johnston & Marshall, 2010). This way of thinking from the business manager is the reason sales are not where they should be with this newly founded company. The sales representatives that go out on a daily basis use more time, gas, and food to secure a sale verses the actual bring home pay they are receiving. These added expenses should be taken into consideration and the sales representatives should be allotted more reimbursements. The sales representatives most likely spend after…

According to the Wikipedia the industry is are subject to a variety of laws and regulations regarding the patenting, testing and ensuring safety and efficacy and marketing of drugs. This industry has made huge contribution to human well-being. The industry has seen significant changes in the recent years with the introduction of many regulations to regulate the industry in part to protect the users and in part to control the rising cost which the industry was synonymous for which resulted in the industry lacking the public and the political support to fight off the many regulation that were coming its way (Johnson et al, 2008:56). Wikipedia also stated that the pharmaceutical industry is very risky because to develop a drug it requires huge investments and out of the thousands discovered compounds, only one might become an approved drug for sale with the failure rate very high and very difficult to get return on investment.…

    1) Millenniums Pharmaceuticals strategy basically focused on revolutionizing drug development through the use of new technology during growth phase and making organizational changes during its maturing phase of by making strategic improvements in the organizational structure, making alliances, outsourcing etc by having vertical integration and moving from upstream to downstream model. In phase 1, technology helped the firm leapfrog most other biotechnology firms in the early stage of drug target identification. But this could not prolong as technology and tools were diffused and competitors learned from Millenniums model. This prompted Millennium to shift its focus form early stage discovery alliances (upstream) to drug development and commercialization. Levin expanded strategy to include “personalized medicine,” which he envisioned would leverage Millennium’s technology platform to customize medicines to the genetic profiles of each patient and improve the effectiveness of drug treatment while limiting side effects. Levin began to realize how challenging it was to build expertise in a broad variety of therapeutic areas while expanding the value chain downstream towards commercialization. In phase III Levin realized that it would be more productive to focus on the particular field the company had competitive advantage in rather than concentrating on the broader arena which followed shift in its business model from R&D services organization to fully integrated on its own pipeline and narrowing their efforts to cardiovascular, inflammation and oncology. Although the strategies adopted aim towards achieving vertical integration and continuous improvements, their strategy does not align parallel with goal; also mission and vision seem to change more frequently than it should be.2) Millennium has pursued the strategy of vertical integration by moving from upstream to downstream commercialization, forming alliances, restructuring their model by narrowing their…
