Final Project Outline - Pharmaceutical

  Our target industry is pharmaceutical. The main focus is how the pharmaceutical companies create demand by adding different customers and generating new market by selling the products to new countries.
  Four areas including two new products, promotion and market expansion over other countries will be studied and introduced in the scrapbook, to see what pharmaceutical companies have done to expand the demand toward the industry.

1.      Slide 1
Introduction of the pharmaceutical industry
The normal business conducted by the pharmaceutical industry, with briefly information about the old traditional pharmaceutical industry.

2.      Slide 2-3
Generating new market in developing countries
Most of the developing country does not have coverage of expensive drugs because it is not affordable for them.

3.      Slide 4-5
New product: health care drugs for different customers
As a healthy living style trend hitting on developed countries, and more wealthy people are willing to spend money in health. Selling and developing health care drugs to the customers has become a new market for pharmaceutical industry.

Some of the pharmaceutical companies are using a new method to sell their products besides traditional passive selling, the direct sale method, which means to find the customer actively (similar to insurance selling), in order to generating demands by reaching more potential customers (where they may not be reached with the passive selling method).

Group Logo and members


Our case study is about Coca-Cola, the biggest soft drink business in the world. At first we chose Square as our team name because we have four members in our group that we cooperate together. Furthermore, Square usually shows up meaning safe and stable (triangle as danger, circle as protect or unlimited), which matches the stage of Coca-Cola, the stable well-known company in the world.

Our team logo combines the logo of Coca-Cola and our team name while cropped as a square, so that related to the two main elements: Cola-Cola and Square.


Here are our team members! You can visit our blogs separately by clicking the links on the right-side box :)
