Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this paper is to describe an innovative practice that has implication for new product developers within and outside the pharmaceutical industry.
Design/methodology/approach
The case describes an approach to managing the risk inherent in marketing drugs. The organization's original name has been retained, although individual managers' names have been changed at its request. Interviews with former company employees and publicly available data were used to write the case study.
Findings
The paper provides information and action approaches to new product developers that may reduce the risk of losing products to regulatory action. The subject company devised a risk management response to its product development. Their results offer direct implications for new product development teams in the drug industry. By extension, the implications may aid traditional companies outside of the pharmaceutical industry.
Research limitations/implications
As in all case studies, the specific conditions found in one organization may not be found more generally in others. Readers are cautioned that the conclusions drawn in the case may have limited applicability.
Practical implications
The case depicts an innovative application of the risk minimization to the new product development process. Other organizations may find the technique of value in their own efforts.
Originality/value
The case is the first to describe a successful application of risk management to the product development/product management process. It offers the potential of improving the lifetime of pharmaceutical products in the marketplace, allowing the company a longer time to reap profits.

Abstract
An assumption underlying the concept of the metanational is that the necessary knowledge, ideas, and assets for creating new business opportunities are spread across the world. Most firms, even those that are multinational in scope, are not highly effective at accessing or making use of globally dispersed knowledge because they are deeply embedded in their home market, and their overseas subsidiaries (for the most part) act on the orders of their parent company rather than taking autonomous action.

Abstract
A total of 2,792 document titles published in a specialized subject bibliography entitled The Prostaglandins by the Upjohn Company, USA, was examined. There was a slight but significant increase in information content of the titles with time. Employing the Montgomery‐Swanson method, it was found that about 80 per cent of the papers had at least one ‘prostaglandin‐term’ in their titles. The data obtained in this study are compared with those obtained in earlier studies.

Abstract
The authors contend that health care remains a high priority in the United States, despite a number of policy efforts to restructure the country's health care system. The authors also believe that the research‐based, multinational pharmaceutical companies in the USA will survive a period of industry‐wide compression and emerge stronger than they are now. These companies will benefit partly from an expanding worldwide market, partly from the overall priority given to health by ageing populations in the industrialised world, and partly from the new wave of technological innovation.

Abstract
States that although Japan's pharmaceutical industry has succeeded in steadily advancing its total sales revenues in recent years, its market share of worldwide volume has actually retreated slightly. Its major competitor continues to be the USA, while its three top European rivals: Germany, France and Italy ‐ in combination ‐ have consistently outperformed Japan. Significantly, Japan remains the single largest recipient of US pharmaceutical exports with a surplus over imports of more than $500 billion. Discusses various findings based on survey results within Japan's market structure. Posits that the US experience shows that successfully operating on the Japanese market requires considerable preparation, especially in the areas of distribution and promotion. Owing to the technical segmentation and endemic distribution system of the Japanese pharmaceutical industry, concludes that it is unlikely that the pharmaceutical industry in Japan will rise to dominate this industrial sector on a global basis as they have prevailed in others.
