In recent years, there has been an expansion of product development activities for colorectal cancer through a number of new public-private partnerships (PPPs). However, there is a lack of credible drug leads to feed the development pipeline of these PPPs and there is a great need for new drug discovery initiatives to produce such leads. There is a need to go beyond lead discovery and identify drug candidates that can be further developed.…
GlaxoSmithKline is a U.K.-based pharmaceutical powerhouse formed by a merger in the late 90’s, with the most important merger being that between Glaxo Wellcome and Smith Kline Beecham. The merger created a pharmaceutical industry giant with operations in over 100 countries and annual sales over $25 billion. In the U.S. alone, prescription drugs account for 10% of all medical costs with sales tripling over the past decade and price increases of 150 percent.…
Because supply has increased along with demand it isn't clear what decision should be made. The manager should gather information as far as how much greater the increase in demand has become. It may indicate the need to increase production. On the other hand, the entrance of new competitors could indicate the need for greater advertising to increase brand recognition, or the introduction of new products. Greater demand means that prices can be increased, as long as the demand isn't matched by the increase in supply. In other words, In this case, the manager would increase the supply and price; but is should increase both in a controlled environment so that the total revenue profits does not drop (for example, raising price beyond a certain price might decrease the demand thus reducing overall profit)…
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the Supply and Demand simulation from the student website. The idea is to identify two microeconomic and two macroeconomic principles present in the simulation and to explain why these principles are categorized as macro or microeconomic. The paper will also determine one shift of the supply curve and one shift of the demand curve from the simulation, as well as why these shifts happen. Their impact on the equilibrium price, on decision making, and on quantity will be also analyzed. Then, it will refer to ways in which concepts about supply and demand can be applied in a real life-situation or in the workplace. The paper will also refer to ways in which concepts of micro and macroeconomics help in understanding factors that influence movements in supply and demand on the equilibrium price and quantity. Last, the paper will refer to how the price elasticity of demand has an impact on the consumer’s purchasing and on the pricing strategy of the company.…
Price elasticity is defined as a measure in the sensitivity of business clients or the supply of commodities as the pricing approach changes (McEachern, 2010). The significance of this value is that it analyzes the proportionate change in the output demanded after the prices of the commodities have been changed. In this business enterprise, the price elasticity is relatively low. Due to the wide range of products sold to its targeted business customers, the organization has been able to capitalize on its economies of scale. For this reason, while a product may have increased its selling price, its purchase levels may still be sustained since the cost…

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…
Dorothee Mitrani, one of the employer in the news, said, “We can raise our prices. But you can’t charge $25 for a sandwich.” Dorothee thought that if they have to increase the minimum wage for employees, it means the operating cost are increased also. And if operating cost are increased, the benefit will be decreased automatically. For solving this problem, the only way they can do is to charge more money per product to customer. However, the problem is that increasing price will decrease the quantity of demand. In other words,…
“Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction” (Erich). Living in today’s society it’s impossible for you not see advertisement for the Pharmaceutical industry. Whether it’s a billboard, a commercial or an elderly person wearing a sponsored rain jacket their advertisements are hard to miss. Every day we see these advertisements but do we bother and ask ourselves what types of people are running these Industries? What first started out as an industry to save lives is now creating a generation of pill popping silent addicts; the Pharmaceutical industry is making millions on people and their illnesses. Although the Pharmaceutical industry does provide a treatment for diseases and illnesses because of their business mindset they have become an Industry that does not have the consumer’s best interest at heart.…

There are many factors that can influence fuel prices. The marketplace forces of supply and demand determine the price of fuel. If demand grows or if a disruption in supply occurs, there will be upward pressure on prices.

If a retailer prices its gasoline too high, and without regard to competition, the retailers customers may take their business to another station with lower prices. If a retailer loses enough volume, the retailer may then reduce prices in order to retain its customers.

Due to the recent drops in sales and therefore the decline of economic feasibility the Hofer KG carried out a market research to determine the differences between retailers within the Austrian market with a focus on one of Hofer KG’s major rivals, Billa. First a competitor analysis had to be carried out to find out what makes Billa more successful. According to the analysis the introduction of a bonus card influenced customers in a very positive way. Beside of that Billa clearly reviewed and restructured their promotion and price policy. As customers’ wants and needs are constantly changing the Hofer KG has to adapt to these changes in order to influence sales positively. Therefore the aim of this report is to outline the importance of implementing promotion tools and a proper price policy within the company.…
