Glaxo-Wellcome Stereotypes

Decent Essays
The Glaxo-Wellcome situation to me is much simpler than the reading presents it. I believe that for the sake of continued success going forward, it is in the best interest of both Wellcome Israel and Ofra Sherman to pursue their interest in completely becoming the newest team members of Glaxo. While Wellcome is considered successful, falling between 10th and 20th worldwide in revenue (Jick, T. & Peiperl, M., 2011.), its is not uncommon for these rankings to change dramatically overnight. Wellcome’s stable of income producers all having glaring flaws going forward into the future, not including the one major constant of the threat of instability in their region.

Sherman, it would appear that the largest part of her current predicament is predicated on her value and success at her current position. Her rise from a medical representative on a team of 4, to the the increased group of 15 people that she manages, and their ability to to produce more than ⅔ the revenue of a team 4 times larger (Jick, T. & Peiperl, M., 2011.) Ms. Sherman’s success largely can be attributed to her management style and dedication to her people, individually, and as a team. Darwin reported that emotional expression was a key component of survival and adaptation (Davis, S., 2011.) Ms. Sherman demonstrated a remarkable ability to maintain the one-on-one direction to keep member’s of her team focussed, at a time when she acknowledged with exasparation that she herself did not have a boss, and felt she was in the middle of nowhere (Jick, T. & Peiperl, M., 2011.) Ms. Sherman has also increased her value to Glaxo with both her’s and her team’s established global relationships, including those Arab and Islamic nations historically not fond of doing business with

    Bill Jenison, president of Pharmacy Gold, said the pharmaceutical company-PBM mergers will allow his independent PBM to "leverage more enrollment because of our clinical objectivity and independence." With existing PBMs prepared to handle increased market share, and new PBMs forming, the arguments that the manufacturer-PBM mergers increase the barriers to entry into the industry, or foreclose unique products or services, are weakened. Additionally, no pharmaceutical company makes every drug on a formulary list, so the possibility of strict foreclosure is diminished because the PBMs must maintain supplier relationships with other manufacturers. A different issue arises from these continued supplier relationships concerning more subtle ways in which…

    The United States government has been campaigning on the prohibition of drugs for nearly a century. President Richard Nixon declared the “War on Drugs” in the 1970s.
