...Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd 1) External Environment: The Pharmaceutical Industry is dependent on political and legal conditions of general environment. In pharmaceutical industry we have two kind of medications which are generic or innovative. Innovative pharmaceutical industry success depends on the patent protection in the industry. For example, in United States innovative industry can have 10 to 12 years of patent protection life from the time that product is for sale in the market. Success of the generic pharmaceuticals which are bioequivalent to innovative pharmaceutical is also related to the political and legal environment of their market. If we look at pharmaceutical industry globally we can see that regulations toward generic pharmaceutical are different in different countries. For example, in United States they have the Hatch-Waxman ACT 1984including Abbreviated New Drug Application which reduce the drugs approval period and give the chance to Generic companies to have a 180 day exclusivity period if the generic company can submit an abbreviated new drug application before other generic competitors. In Europe regulations are different in each country for example, United Kingdom and the Netherlands are very similar to USA, and countries such as Germany and France are more physician-driven or branded generics market and the cost of sale for generic products are higher in these countries. Market for generic drugs in the rest of...

...Running Head: Decisions in Paradise Part II Decisions in Paradise Part II NAME MGT 350 January 23, 2012 Introduction Within the context of Decisions in Paradise I, I discussed some of the different obstacles that TEVA, USA is encountering while trying to enter the country of Kava, a South Pacific Island. I also shared different approaches that my company TEVA, USA can take to address the many challenges that the island presents. Any solution that I, or my partners, propose will have an effect on Kava and this should be taken into consideration when implementing our techniques. The process of assessing the available solutions will be explored within Decisions in Paradise II. The most difficult problem to overcome is that Kava is a hard island to inhabit because of the unavoidable issues the face with disasters and disease. In addition to the mess that the island is in, the office that TEVA occupies is also in havoc. They lack sufficient employees and the office in unorganized. After identifying the problems at hand, I have determined that the basic solutions would be; hire a new receptionist, clean up the office space, and implementing contingency plans for every natural disaster that may impact the land. This would include a safety plan, a cleaning plan, and a safe place for everyone to go when disasters do strike. Decision-making Technique Several influences have been identified to lead to the issues that are affecting Kava today. The main...

...the island to analyze the possibility of the plans of the Teva Pharmaceuticals to increase its presence in the island. Determining Factors Affecting the Decision Implementation The disaster threats relative to the geographic location of Kava pose considerable risks to any business operating in the island. Teva Pharmaceuticals will not be exempted from that. The threats also pose real danger to the health of the people of Kava. The risks from the disaster threats could significantly affect the health of the population particularly if accessibility to affordable health and medical supplies is difficult. The threats from AIDS/HIV alone could be devastating but the threat could be eased with available protective device such as affordable and easy accessible condom sheaths. The situation in Kava could be a great opportunity for the Teva Pharmaceuticals to expand its mission which is “to play a leading role in the transformation of the U.S. healthcare system through its pre-eminence in the development, manufacture and marketing of generic pharmaceuticals (TEVA USA., 2010, para 2)”. The company can expand that mission to the healthcare system of Kava Island highly vulnerable to many threats particularly storm, tsunami, earthquake, flood, fire, petroleum spills, AIDS/HIV, and avian flu (University of Phoenix, 2010). The condition of Kava may not be highly favorable but the island also has some benefits to offer to Teva...

...Preparing Business Scenario Analyses The following general guidelines may be used in preparing for an oral or written business scenario analysis and presentation. There may be several feasible courses of action regarding the solution to any case. It is more important to concern yourself with the process of problem definition and isolation, analysis, and evaluation of alternatives, and the choice of one or more recommendations, rather than trying to find a single answer. Very often, the right answer is the one that you can propose, explain, defend, and make work. • The Process of Analyzing a Case 1. Read and study the scenario thoroughly and efficiently. Read the scenario once for familiarity, noting issues that come to the forefront. Read the scenario again. Determine all the facts, making notes about symptoms of problems, root problems, unresolved issues, and roles of key players. Watch for issues beneath the surface. 2. Isolate the problem(s). Get a feel for the overall environment by putting yourself in the position of one of the key players. Seek out the pertinent issues and problems. 3. Analyze and evaluate alternatives. a. Once the problems and issues are isolated, work at gaining a better understanding of causes. In what area of the unit do the problems exist? Why? What caused them? Examine and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the unit’s processes (e.g., planning, communication), human behaviors, and/or exhibits (e.g., financial statements,...

...PEST Analysis One way of planning your business is to undertake a PEST analysis.1 PEST analysis involves looking at the Political, Economic, Socio-cultural and Technological factors that could affect your business. Every business needs to consider a range of external forces in order to take decisions. For many people imagination is very limited and is coloured solely by their own experience and personal beliefs. This can lead to wish fulfilment or a refusal to see reality or recognise the critical changes that are happening in the world around them. It can also lead to grabbing short-term solutions that, if they do not exacerbate problems, certainly ignore the longer term. In the business world pressure is often applied to take decisions quickly, acting on judgement and instinct rather than careful analysis. There are many driving forces in the external environment that might impact on your business. These can be categorised as: • Social; • Technological; • Economic; • Environmental; and • Political. Social forces Social forces include, for example, changing demography and education, etc. The population in Western Europe is relatively static, but the age bands are changing. The number of older people, for example, is growing rapidly. Technological forces Technological forces are changing dramatically quickly. What effects will this have on your production, marketing and distribution plans? Depending on your market, technology might either raise or lower entry barriers...

...http://www.mysensex.comPESTLE « Pestle Summary: India | Main | Pestle summary: USA » 03/28/2009 Pestle Summary China Well, I guess this is where I get controversial, at least a bit. There are others who have predicted that China was in for a tough ride over the past few years, but they mostly got ignored, or were proven wrong by events. And, to a certain extent, if you cry doom long enough you'll always get proved right, given the laws of entropy. So this is a bit 'faux' controversy... This is the introductory note taking exercise for a Pestle analysis of China, drawn on conventional internet sources such as Wikipedia, the CIA World Factbook and Nationmaster. China is the most populous country in the world, with 1.34 billion people. It has the third largest GDP, with $4.84 trillion, behind Japan and the U.S. Like India, the currency and conditions make it useful to look at some statistics using Purchasing Power Parity, which bumps up China's GDP to $7.8 trillion, which would move it ahead of Japan. It also is the second in the world in annual military spending, although that needs a bit of context, as the world's number two spends about 15% of what the world number one (USA) spends. But with PPP, that looks like more money, and insofar as it is used to pay salaries, rather than buy Israeli rocket parts, PPP is valid in this context too. China is badly governed by the Communist Party, and in my five-year Pestle forecast I will be making the case that misgovernance will...

...29th, 2013 Angela Lucente Planning For People Job analysis is an important process, any organization used to use it in order to collect information and data about required skills, level of education, work environment, responsibilities, and the duties to create a job description, recruiting plans, and performance development planning (Susan M. Heatfield, 2013). Once job analyses are updated as described, a summary of the results is normally prepared in writing in the form of a job description (Wayne F. Cascio, 2010). According to my reading chapter five about job analysis process. There are some topics I felt comfortable with, such as alternative perspectives on jobs. This topic add to my knowledge many information and explained how jobs are important to organizations, what is the highly unusual jobs that some organizations required it, and distinguish job analysis form job design (Wayne F. Cascio, 2010). On the other hand, I struggled with topic job requirements because there are many methods created in order to study job requirements and none of them alone is sufficient. Thus, it is essential to integrate this methods to obtain the results of the tasks and duties of a job (Wayne F. Cascio, 2010). It is not that easy to implement the methods of job analysis, such as job performance, observation, interview, critical incidents, and structured questionnaire, those are the most five common methods of job analysis and each one of those takes time and effort to achieve desirable...

...------------------------------------------------- Running header: Job Analysis Methods ------------------------------------------------- Abstract Examination of different methods utilized to create a comprehensive job analysis, including advantages and disadvantages of all approaches. There are several methods that can be utilized to create a comprehensive job analysis. A job analysis provides a better understanding of the positions within an organization, which will allow the recruitment process to be more focused, consistent and thorough. The first method that can be employed to create an effective job analysis is the Critical Incidents Technique. This technique identifies circumstances that arise in a current position, what action was taken, and the consequences of the action, to identify the effective and ineffective behaviors in job performance. These critical situations are documented by interviewing former jobholders, supervisors, or by reviewing documents and logs from the job. Job duties are examined, and then critical incidents are identified to determine poor or good performance issues related to a specific job requirement. This technique is useful for covering job events that may not be covered in a general job description. Identifying atypical circumstances that may arise in a position can aid in finding a candidate that would be an ideal fit. Reviewing these critical incidents also enable the recruitment process to be shaped to include more pointed questions...

...to accomplish that soon, also technology is to expensive. Other companies building autonomous cars said that they are working on vehicles that will be able to safely make that switch. Volvo says that it expects to have its cars tested on city streets by 2020. The Google management team faced several questions. Should Google continue to invest in the technology behind self-driving cars? How could Google's core software-based and search business benefit from self-driving car technology? As large auto manufacturers began to invest in automotive technology themselves, could Google compete? Was this investment of time and resources worth it for Google? Environmental Scanning (external and internal analysis): PEST Analysis After reading the case study Google car I have used the PEST analysis model in which the following was concluded: 1. Political Factors: Government’s regulations on automobile transportation are one of the major aspects in Google's car that have legal barriers. Due to that most of the governments do not have specific laws for self-driving vehicle and there are no federal standards for autonomous cars special permission in all US states adjusted for road test. Laws need to be adapted to accidents liability for insurance purposes. 2. Economic Factors: Cost is a concern, due to the investment in technology required to be adapted to cars an estimated of $150,000 in equipment. The consumers are not willing to spend more than $3,000 for autonomous driving applications...
