1. Ranbaxy has the choice of continuing as the manufacturer of imitative generic drugs or becoming the developer of proprietary medicines. Discuss the pros and cons of each strategy. Could it do both?
Emergent strategy - the decisions that come out from the complex processes in which managers interpret the intended strategy and adapt to changing external situation.
Mintzberg suggests only 10%–30% of intended strategy is realized.
External factors (political situation, production cost, labor cost)

1. Ranbaxy has the choice of continuing as the manufacturer of imitative generic drugs or becoming the developer of proprietary medicines. Discuss the pros and cons of each strategy. Could it do both? Before a suitable strategy can be found, it is helpful to consider
characteristics of both products: Generic drugs - Product characteristics
low price and high volume patent freetrust unimportant brand unimportant (e.g. asprin, paracetemol, etc.)
Requirement = low –cost production destination Patent drugs – Product characteristics
High cost of R&D Highly skilled R&D Long time R&D (5 years minimum)Trust importantBrand important (e.g. Glaxo, Zeneca, Pfizer, etc.)
Requirement – highly educated, technically advanced, high trust, well connected (with other complimentary pharmaceutical organisations, universities, etc.)

+ low product price
+ high revenue
+ researchers at Datamonitor
predicts that the patent expirations
will be from now till 2016. (pick 2011-
12. ex: clopidogrel bisulfate (Plavix),
for the first time)
-Rising production cost in India
compeered to Newly developing
countries (Indonesia, China,
Philippines)
- 20 years patent protection
+ 10 years without taxes on patent
medicines (in India)
+ high potential success as
improving education level, rising IT
technology
+ middle class as potential segment
for sales
- high investment in R&D
- long period to invent and testing
new product
- high cost of advertising

1. Ranbaxy has the choice of continuing as the manufacturer of imitative generic drugs or becoming the developer of proprietary medicines. Discuss the pros and cons of each strategy. Could it do both? For an organisation to obtain a sustainable competitive advantage Michael Porter suggested that they should follow either one of three generic strategies.
Strategy 1 Cost Leadership.
Strategy 2: Niche strategiesStrategy 3: Differentiation
Patent product
Focus on manufacturing generic
Generate profit
Recommendation : Ranbaxy is rapidly loosing one of its competitive advantage such as low production cost as India is fast developing country, thus production cost increases, so to be sustainable there is a need to move manufacturing to N.D.Cs.
Haberberg and Rieple, 2008

1. Ranbaxy has the choice of continuing as the manufacturer of imitative generic drugs or becoming the developer of proprietary medicines. Discuss the pros and cons of each strategy. Could it do both?
If Ranbaxy has the appropriate strategic resources, it is recommended that it:
Continues to produce generic drugs, possibly moving production to a destination where production factors are lower;
Begin developing new patented drugs in India.

2.Should Ranbaxy focus its attention on developing markets or the developed markets of the USA and Europe.Potter’s Diamond: Presence of High
quality, Specialized inputs available to Firm: Skilled & Educated work force.
The rules and incentives that govern competition: Government policies and investment programs to encourage innovation
Local availability of supporting industries in clusters than an Isolation The nature and sophistication of local customer needs
Potter (1990)

2. Should Ranbaxy focus its attention on developing markets or the developed markets of the USA and Europe.Potter’s Diamond: Developing Countries USA and Europe
Firm’s structure, strategy and rivalry
High level of competition in generic market, which is stimulate innovation
High level of competition in generic market, which is stimulate innovation (Merck & Co., Inc)
Factors conditions Low cost of production (Russia, China), increasing infrastructure,
High level of workers skills, Good infrastructure, Participation in International Organization (WTO,NAFTA,EU)
Demand condition Growing demand, middle class
High level of life an demand
Related and supporting industries
Improving level of educations
High level of education and IT technologies
Ranbaxy should consider partnerships in Russia and China because India is geographically, culturally, ideologically and politically closer to Russia and China than to Europe or US.

2. Should Ranbaxy focus its attention on developing markets or the developed markets of the USA and Europe.
Recommendations:
Merger and Acquisition,
which will give access
to foreign market
and resource.
Partnership and Strategic Alliances
to create synergy effect.

3. Does India have a suitable infrastructure for innovation.Global Competitive Index (GCI) today is portraying mixed picture of
India’s competitiveness as it is constrained by few structural problems simultaneously having rapid economic growth being the world fastest growing economy:
Pro ‘s Con ‘s
• Huge domestic market and rapid growing middleclass boosting investment and consumption.

3. Does India have a suitable infrastructure for innovation.
Conclusion :
Following key areas efficiently tackles with the problems discussed earlier:
• India does have a suitable infrastructure for innovation when compared in certain areas with its competing countries.
• Also, India is at par with much more advanced economies in the world having vibrant democracy and favorable demographics trends.
THUS, answer is YES India does have suitable infrastructure for innovation also, in Pharmaceutical industry.

Conclusion
Ranbaxy should consider its production on both products and move its manufacturing to N.D.C because production cost in India is increasing fast (Russia and China).
Company should expand to developing countries as well as to US and Europe.
India is at par with much more advanced economies in the world having vibrant democracy and favorable demographics trends and does have suitable infrastructure for innovation also, in Pharmaceutical industry.
