...R&D restructuring efforts, compensated for the losses caused by Lipitor’s patent expiry. The approval of Xalkori for lung cancer, Inlyta and pneumococcal vaccine Prevnar 13 have proved to be a real lifeline for Pfizer. Moving ahead, the steady progress of the late-stage pipeline (with 22 projects in phase III and 11 under registration) will be a primary source of confidence for the company. The key strategy of the group is now to advance experimental drugs towards approval: these include Bosutinib, Tofacitinib, experimental clot-preventing drug Eliquis and its many pipeline drugs to make up for the inevitable decline in Lipitor revenue. With a view to reducing costs, Pfizer’s huge research budget has been cut by 12%. In 2012, Pfizer will focus on small to mid-sized deals and effective research partnerships to strengthen its portfolio in all therapeutic segments.

Correctness – means business writers should use language and approaches that are appropriate to the purpose of writing. (P 6) IV. Intercultural Awareness in...
