Opportunities 1. Smaller companies are coming up with new and innovative drugs. This creates an opportunity for larger drug companies to acquire or form a joint venture with smaller companies 2. Larger organizations have better purchasing power in buying raw material 3. The baby boomers are aging, therefore they have more need for health and medical services 4. More consumers are becoming health conscious by taking more vitamins and use better brand health related products 5. Due to economic downturn, many individuals may have more stress and depression and as such, may have a need for prescription drugs 6. Despite years of research, companies still spend money for developing new drugs for health issues related to cancer, heart problems, HIV and Alzheimers 7. Through the Internet, drug companies have found a more effective and less expensive way in advertising, educating, and promoting their products Threats 1. The cost of R&D has been increasing at an astounding rate, rising currently at a rate of eightfold per year 2. Due to economic downturn, there has been severe changes in the behavior and spending patterns of purchasers of healthcare products and services 3. Generic drug firms have filed Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) seeking to market generic forms of most of the key pharmaceutical products, prior to expiration of the applicable patents covering those products 4. By 2012, many major patents, often referred to as Patent Cliffs, will expire, clearing the way for companies involved in the production of generics to begin manufacturing the most effective and high-grossing drugs on the market 5. Introducing a new drug into the market can take 10 to 15 years and require extensive amount of money to get it tested and receive FDA approval 6. Often, drugs could have side effects which create negative publicity and/or force the company to recall the drug or remove it from the shelves External Factor Evaluation (EFE) Matrix Key External Factors Opportunities 1.

Epilogue

The U.S. Congress has been discussing plans to pass a national healthcare program which could impact the drug companies and how they do business in the United States. If the healthcare reform is passed, more individuals could afford to have health insurance and accordingly use products or services prescribed by their physician. On the other hand, there may be some requirements in regards to lowering prices on products or services by the drug manufacturers. In recent months, Johnson & Johnson has announced several victories such as unveiling Cytomimic Technology which is related to how the bodys electrical field affects skin regression; reaching an agreement between Cordis Corporation (owned by Johnson & Johnson) with Boston Scientific resolving two litigations; receiving an approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for labeling update for Prezista tablets; and an increase in sales of 9.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.
