EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The research on marketing strategy of J & J Companys Products
has brought many things into light.
During the study, I was able to identify the marketing strategy of the company in
different markets for different products, how they are working in different areas,
how they are adopting strategy, what are the routes available, problems and
challenges faced by the company due to their promotional activities. The study
has provided the information and suggestions to improve the performance of
the company.
They are mainly targeting parents & they are mainly focusing on urban areas &
among the segmented population it targets those people, who care for their
health. The purpose of this research is to analyses the situation of J & J products
and provide forecasts for future market and product innovations.
A promotion strategy is an important element of market strategy. A key ingredient
in marketing campaigns consists of a diverse collection of incentive tools, mostly
short term, designed to stimulate quicker or greater purchase of particular
products or services by consumers or trade.
After evaluating the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, I found
that competition was the single biggest threat to J & J success both nationally
and internationally. I concluded that J & J must undertake an intensive
advertising campaign to promote brand awareness, gain a better market share
and propel the image of its products in market.
In this the Global corporate-level profile with information on the companys
business segments, major products and services, competitors, and locations and
subsidiaries.
The pharmaceuticals business has transformed its portfolio by expanding its
leadership in immunology, deepened its expertise in oncology and entered
vaccines. The company's pharmaceuticals businesses are in the process of
launching six significant new products between 2009 and 2011, some in multiple
geographies. Two of the new products are pending regulatory review in the
India, and two additional key compounds are in registration in key markets. Many
of these products could represent significant advances over the current
standards of care.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION:

1.1) Pharmaceutical Industry:


Johnson & Johnson is a global American pharmaceutical, medical devices and
consumer packaged goods manufacturer founded in 1886. Its common stock is a
component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the company is listed
among the Fortune 500.
The corporation's headquarters is located in New Brunswick, New Jersey, United
States. Its consumer division is located in Skillman, New Jersey. The corporation
includes some 250 subsidiary companies with operations in over 57 countries.
Its products are sold in over 175 countries. Johnson & Johnson had worldwide
pharmaceutical sales of $24.6 billion for the full-year 2008.
Our Pharmaceuticals segment focuses on meeting important patient needs. With
sales of $22.4 billion, we saw rapid growth of recently launched products. For the
year, the segment experienced an operational sales decline of 1 percent.
Excluding the impact of generic competition and health care reform,
pharmaceutical sales would have increased by nearly 4 percent operationally.
Johnson & Johnson's pharmaceuticals business generated $22.4 billion in sales
last year, 36 percent of the company's total revenue, and it ranks as the world's
eighth largest pharmaceutical company and fifth largest biotech company. The
pharmaceuticals business saw over 6% operational growth in the first quarter of

10

2011 as new products contributed to growth and core brands delivered solid
performance.
Johnson & Johnson's pharmaceuticals business has taken a disciplined
management approach to increasing its efficiency in order to invest in its pipeline
and new product launches. For example, the pharmaceuticals business has
seen a significant increase in productivity over the last two years based on the
ratio of sales per employee, and it continues investing in R&D at higher rates
than its competitive set.

Johnson & Johnson Consumer Products Division is one of the leading fast
moving consumer goods manufacturers in India. It is also among the most
consistent and successful enterprises not just in the J&J world-wide group of
companies, but also in India. Johnson & Johnson Consumer Products division
has been growing steadily over the last few years, and is one of the few
companies in the Indian market to grow at extremely healthy levels.
Specialized surgical staples are often used to connect tissue during certain
surgeries. Theyre credited with quicker recovery times than suturing by hand.
But in emerging markets, it often costs too much to use specialized equipment
designed for developed markets. Dr. Zhao is excited about what the new surgical
tool could mean for his patients.
For a health care company passionate about meeting the unmet needs of
hundreds of millions more patients, Johnson & Johnson needs to challenge its
innovation capability to develop solutions that will be both appropriate and
affordable. To that end, Johnson & Johnson is strategically basing research and
development (R&D) centers in emerging markets to develop medical devices
and pharmaceutical and consumer products based on insights available in local
markets.
The Consumer Products Division owes its success to the strength of its brands,
and the loyalty they enjoy from consumers, a strong sense of values driven from
the Credo, and an environment, which sets the toughest standards of leadership.
Johnson & Johnson was founded more than 120 years ago on a revolutionary
idea: Doctors and nurses should use sterile sutures, dressings and bandages to
11

treat peoples wounds. Since then, we have brought to the world, new ideas and
products that have transformed human health and well-being.
Our Family of Companies is organized into several business segments
comprised of franchises and therapeutic categories - Consumer Health Care,
Medical Devices & Diagnostics and Pharmaceuticals.
In the 50 years of operating in India, Johnson & Johnson Limited, India has
gained a reputation for delivering high-quality products.
Today, we employ more than 2000 people and the businesses span Consumer,
Medical Devices and Diagnostics, Pharmaceuticals and Vision Care.
Johnson & Johnson India is an employer of choice and is a recipient of several
awards, which recognize it as one of the best employers in India.
Based on strong corporate values, Johnson & Johnson Medical is in the
business of caring and providing solutions to doctors, patients and nurses. A
leading Medical Devices provider in almost every segment, with undisputed
leadership in most of our businesses, what sets Johnson & Johnson Medical
apart is its constant focus on innovation. Johnson & Johnson Medical offers an
extensive range of high technology medical and surgical equipment, devices and
services, a name that is the preferred choice of the leading health care
professionals in India and indeed, the world over.

The business is organized into franchises to focus on target customer and better
service. J&J's fourth-quarter pharmaceutical division sales rose 5.4 percent to
$5.99 billion, medical device and diagnostic unit sales increased 11.8 percent to
$6.31 billion and consumer product sales rose 10.2 percent to $4.25 billion.
The earnings beat in the quarter was due in part to an extra week of sales in the
calendar year, as well as sharply lower taxes, the company said. The tax rate in
the quarter, of 15.3 percent, was well below the 22.8 percent rate in the year-ago
period.

12

J&J predicted a full-year 2010 profit of $4.85 to $4.95 per share excluding items.
Analysts have expected $4.94 per share.
J&J's profit jumped almost 10 percent in 2008, but grew only 1.8 percent last
year as the recession crimped sales of many products and generic competition
took its toll. The company expects earnings to rise as much as 7 percent this
year -- helped by novel products such as its recently approved stellar psoriasis
drug. J&J shares were down 0.8 percent at $62.71 on the New York Stock
Exchange, off an earlier low at $62.22.
Johnson & Johnson engages in the research and development, manufacture,
and sale of various products in the health care field worldwide. The company
operates in three segments: Consumer, Pharmaceutical, and Medical Devices
and Diagnostics. The Consumer segment provides products used in baby care,
skin care, oral care, wound care, and womens health care fields, as well as
nutritional, over-the-counter pharmaceutical products, and wellness and
prevention platforms under the brands.

Palmolive Company, Pharmacia Corporation, The Procter & Gamble Company,
Unilever etc.

1.2) COMPANY PROFILE:


1.2.1) About company:

Johnson & Johnson spread its roots to the worlds largest democracy, India,
during the endemic post-independence turmoil of 1947. It was Mr. Patrick
Whaley who set about with confidence and determination during this period of
turbulence to begin the wok of establishing Johnson & Johnson in the

13

subcontinent. Things progressed quickly and by 1948, Johnsons Baby Powder


was being manufactured by British Drug House in Prabhadevi, Bombay, and
marketed by the company.
Other consumer products like TEK toothbrushes, Johnsons Baby Cream and
Prickly Heat Powder followed suit. However, highly specialized products like
Belladonna plasters, pharmaceuticals and Premade Tapes were imported from
the parent company. It was only ten years later that the company began to
manufacture its own products.
In September 1957, a new company, Johnson & Johnson India Ltd. was created
and registered with twelve employees on its rolls.
In the 50 years since its establishment as a modest 12-employee outfit, Johnson
& Johnson Ltd. has gained a reputation for delivering high-quality products at
competitive prices. Our success, we believe, stems from our staunch
commitment to caring for and catering to the needs of our customers and
employees.
J&J has not always been vocal about its socially and environmentally
responsible efforts, even so it has gotten attention for its sustainability strategies,
including being #3 on Newsweek magazines Green Rankings List of green
companies.
In making the announcement, Robert Enterkin, Director of Sales and Marketing,
said, We welcome Mark and Electronic Assembly Products to the JNJ Industries
sales team of manufacturers' representatives, and wish him continued success
in the Florida market. We believe his direct experience working for a distributor
as well as for a product manufacturer, coupled with his ample years of
experience working as a manufacturers representative, will enable him to
provide our customers with the high level of attention and support that they have
come to expect from JNJ. Mark has already developed strong working
relationships with distributors and electronic manufacturers in the territory.

Leading pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson Ltd. on Monday launched


its nicotine gum brand Nicolette in India. The sugar-free gum helps reduce
nicotine craving.
Nicolette is not just a chewing gum, but a complete infrastructure and support
system that can help smokers quit the habit and lead a healthier life, Tushar
Murdeshwar, Johnson & Johnson India general manager for marketing, said.
Beginning December 25, Nicolette will be available in packs of 4mg (10 gums)
for heavy smokers through a doctors prescription. Also available is an over-thecounter product of 2mg (4 & 10 gums) for light smokers.

A nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) product, Nicolette provides therapeutic


and clean nicotine, slowly and in lesser quantities as compared to a cigarette. It
is just enough to satisfy the smokers nicotine craving.
Some interesting facts about J&J: its the largest corporate user of hybrid
vehicles, and it gets 30% of its energy from renewable sources. Its also done a
lot to reduce its water footprint, reduce PVC content in products, sell waste as
raw materials, and use recycled paper in product packaging.
Recently, the company opened a new manufacturing facility in North India
Baddi in Himachal Pradesh which caters to both Medical and Consumer
sectors.
To those who have been following Johnson & Johnson, this shouldnt come as
much of a surprise. For instance, during the 2007 shareholders meeting, Colleen
Goggins, the Worldwide Chairman of the Consumer Group, explained that
almost 80 percent of the sales of Johnsons brand products are now outside the
US and that the brand is growing at double-digit rates, more often than not, in
China, India and Brazil. Earlier this year, BabyCenter India was launched.

15

Fifty years in India has their advantage. Speaking to people in Mumbai and on
my ferry to Elephanta Island, I found that the Johnson & Johnson name was
fairly well known at least for its consumer products and I noticed a few
products on the shelves of a local chemist.
Janssen India, a division of Johnson & Johnson, encourages high performance
culture amongst its 700+ employees. Its fast expanding pharmaceutical range
includes products in therapeutic areas of Pain, CNS (Central Nervous System),
Immunology, Derma and Gastrointestinal. This year the company has launched
a record 9 new product in India.
Janssen India is stepping up the pace and now it's making an entry into
Immunology. We believe its time you did too.
Despite all this good work, J&J wants to make sure it doesnt overstate its
efforts. Specifically, it wants to make sure it adheres to the following:

Dont Say something youre not: Dont put yourself out there as the end all
and be all, because most likely thats not true. Products can be greener,
but cannot always be 100% green because of the nature of consumer
productsso dont say you are.

Be Specific: Use LCAs to know the exact sustainability measures of your


products. Provide your consumers with real numbers that inform and
empower them.

Transparency: Partner with NGOs that can hold your products


accountable and add credibility to your business. Follow the 7 Sins of
Green washing and check yourself before you go to market.

J&J wants people to know about their commitment to sustainability and they plan
to inform people in a way thats honest and not misleading. That strategy is very
much in line with its famous Credo.

Johnson & Johnson Consumer Products Division is one of the leading fast
moving consumer goods manufacturers in India. It is also among the most
consistent and successful enterprises not just in the J&J world-wide group of
companies in India.
Johnson & Johnson Consumer Products division has been growing steadily over
the last few years, and is one of the few companies in the Indian market to grow
at extremely healthy levels.

1.2.2) History:

Robert Wood Johnson inspired by a speech by antiseptic advocate Joseph


Lister, joined brothers James Wood Johnson and Edward Mead Johnson to

18

create a line of ready-to-use surgical dressings in 1885. The company produced


its first products in 1886 and incorporated in 1887.
Robert Wood Johnson served as the first president of the company. He worked
to improve sanitation practices in the nineteenth century, and lent his name to a
hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Upon his death in 1910, he was
succeeded in the presidency by his brother James Wood Johnson until 1932,
and then by his son, Robert Wood Johnson II.
RWJ's granddaughter, Mary Lea Johnson Richards, was the first baby to appear
on a Johnson & Johnson baby powder label. His great-grandson, Jamie
Johnson, made a documentary called Born Rich about the experience of growing
up as the heir to one of the world's greatest fortunes.

Patients who can now receive better health care at lower cost are certainly
grateful, he says. Now, patients dont carry the psychological weight of financial
burden, so their recovery is complete.
When you hear the name Johnson & Johnson, you might think about baby oil,
baby powder and band-aidsand not necessarily think of them as leaders in
sustainability. At a speaker panel at the Net Impact Conference on Friday,
several J&J company leaders spoke to how the companys Credo is the
backbone of its sustainability strategy and how they have avoided green washing
as they implement their Healthy Planet 2010 goals.
Johnson & Johnson (J & J) is one of the largest healthcare firms in the world and
one of the most diversified. Its operations are organized into three business
segments: pharmaceutical, which generates 39 percent of revenues and 61
percent of operating income; professional, which accounts for 36 percent of
revenues and 27 percent of operating income; and consumer, which contributes
25 percent of revenues and 12 percent of operating income.
J & J's pharmaceutical products--which are sold under such brands as Janssen
Pharmaceutical, Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, and Contactor--include drugs for
family planning, mental illness, gastroenterology, oncology, pain management,
19

and other areas. The professional segment includes surgical and patient care
equipment and devices, diagnostic products, joint replacements, and disposable
contact lenses. The company's well-known line of consumer products includes
the Johnson's baby care line, the Neutrogena skin and hair care line, Tylenol and
Motrin pain relievers, o.b. and Stayfree feminine hygiene products.

The Reach oral care line, Band-Aid brand adhesive bandages, Imodium A-D
diarrhea treatment, Mylanta gastrointestinal products, and Pepsis AC acid
controller. J & J generates about half of its revenues outside the United States,
through its network of 190 operating companies in 51 countries and its marketing
organization that sells in more than 175 countries.

Company Perspectives:
Company Credo:
We believe our first responsibility is to the doctors, nurses and patients, to
mothers and fathers and all others who use our products and services. In
meeting their needs everything we do must be of high quality. We must
constantly strive to reduce our costs in order to maintain reasonable prices.

Customers' orders must be serviced promptly and accurately. Our suppliers and
distributors must have an opportunity to make a fair profit. We are responsible to
our employees, the men and women who work with us throughout the world.
Everyone must be considered as an individual. We must respect their dignity and
recognize their merit. They must have a sense of security in their jobs.
Compensation must be fair and adequate, and working conditions clean, orderly
and safe. We must be mindful of ways to help our employees fulfill their family
responsibilities. Employees must feel free to make suggestions and complaints.
There must be equal opportunity for employment, development and
20

advancement for those qualified. We must provide competent management, and


their actions must be just and ethical. We are responsible to the communities in
which we live and work and to the world community as well. We must be good
citizens--support good works and charities and bear our fair share of taxes. We
must encourage civic improvements and better health and education. We must
maintain in good order the property we are privileged to use, protecting the
environment and natural resources. Our final responsibility is to our
stockholders. Business must make a sound profit. We must experiment with new
ideas. Research must be carried on, innovative programs developed and
mistakes paid for. New equipment must be purchased, new facilities provided
and new products launched. Reserves must be created to provide for adverse
times. When we operate according to these principles, the stockholders should
realize a fair return.

Environmental record:
Johnson & Johnson has set several positive goals to keep the company
environmentally friendly and was ranked third among the largest companies in
Newsweek's "Green Rankings". Some examples are the reduction in water use,
waste, and energy use and an increased level of transparency.
Johnson & Johnson agreed to change its packaging of plastic bottles due to
harmful chemicals used in the manufacturing process, switching their packaging
of liquids to safe non-polycarbonate containers. The corporation is working with
the Climate Northwest Initiative and the EPA National Environmental
Performance Track program. As a member of the national Green Power
Partnership, Johnson & Johnson operates the largest solar power generator in
Pennsylvania at its site in Spring House, PA.

1.2.3) Mission:
At Johnson & Johnson, good work is recognized through Performance
Management, a joint process that involves both the supervisor and the
employee. Performance is rewarded and recognized based on individual
contribution and potential. We reward these contributions, on the part of our
employees through salary, bonus, incentives, individual and team recognition
awards and stock options.
In addition to rewarding individual accomplishments, we also reward teams for
their outstanding performance, and the success of individual franchise and
division. Annualized performance-based incentives are attractively designed and
paid out in the company to incentivize individual performance.
We also have extensive awards and recognition programs for individual and
team excellence, based on the Standards of Leadership where we recognize the
extraordinary efforts of the employees that have a positive impact on
our business.

23

1.2.4) Vision:
At Johnson & Johnson, Performance Management is a joint process that
involves both the supervisor and the employee. Together, they identify common
goals, which align with the goals of Johnson & Johnson, in a process called the
Performance Planning and Evaluation Process (PPE). This revolves around
individual goals and the Standards of Leadership which provide the framework
for evaluating performances.
Apart from individual evaluation, the process aims at providing constructive
feedback to improve performance through the Development Planning process.
While the PPE focuses on the supervisor's feedback on individual performance
and behavior, LEAD-The 360 Program offers our managers an opportunity to
receive feedback on leadership abilities and personal effectiveness from all
important work relationships, namely superior, colleagues, external customers,
subordinates and self. This feedback is very essential for setting specific goals
for personal and professional development.
PPE at J&J is a foundation process used in spirit to enhance performance and to
build trust and teamwork in the organization.
Our vision is to be a source of innovation for emerging markets and addresses
the unique needs of patients, says Michael Del Prado, Company Group
Chairman, Medical Devices & Diagnostics, and Asia Pacific. This might include
devices for specific disease states that are prevalent in Asia, simplified and
smaller instruments, multi-use or disposable products that are more economical,
or a product range for rural health centers.
That its strength lays within the talent it attracts and retains. The Credo
espouses the responsibility of the company towards its key constituent
"employees". Managements all over the world and in India strive to create a
great work environment to help employees reach their potential through
Systematic Talent Management processes.
This 100-year-old company is built on a rock solid unchangeable core ideology,
24

the Credo, that drives every aspect of how the company and manages its
employees.
Whether it is through well-entrenched Performance Management systems,
culture building tools like the Credo Survey and Feedback Process, Global
Standards of Leadership, 360 degree feedback, Formal Learning and
Development processes or Career Planning Processes, the attempt is always to
develop leaders who can build a transparent, trusting, performance oriented
culture.
The philosophy of decentralization that J&J is well known for across the globe
gives tremendous freedom at work and early responsibilities to all Johnsonians.
Entrepreneurial drive and a superior ability to work in an ever complex,
competitive and changing business environment along with uncompromising
values, is what makes a Johnsonian.

1.3) OPERATIONS STRATEGY OF J & J:

1. Research and Development:


Johnson & Johnson engages in the research and development, manufacture,
and sale of various products in the health care field worldwide. The company
operates in three segments: Consumer, Pharmaceutical, and Medical Devices
and Diagnostics. The Consumer segment provides products used in baby care,
skin care, oral care, wound care, and womens health care fields, as well as
nutritional, over-the-counter pharmaceutical products, and wellness and
prevention platforms under the names JOHNSONS.

25

For JNJ, India is a base for manufacturing and launching many products. It has a
R&D center called Johnson and Johnson Technical Laboratory. JNJs focus on
their customers instead of their revenue has allowed customers to develop a
strong trust in JNJ. Their focus on their product development, their customers, a
decentralized organization, and Ethical practices has led to JNJs success.
Johnson & Johnson has also entered into pharmaceutical research partnerships
that connect biotech, medical and academic communities to its global research
centers.
In 2009, Johnson & Johnson established a first-of-its-kind late-phase chemical
entity facility, Analytical and Pharmaceutical Development Center, in Mumbai,
India. The center will play a key role in addressing major global health care
challenges, many of which also face Mumbai and the region.

Consumer Packaged Goods in India

Consumer Packages Goods (CPG) is often-referred to as Fast Moving


Consumer Goods (FMCG) in Asia. The CPG market is set to treble from $11.6
billion in 2003 to $33.4 billion in 2015. Penetration level as well as per capita
consumption in most product categories like jams, toothpaste, skin care, hair
wash etc in India is low indicating the untapped market potential. Burgeoning
Indian population, particularly the middle class and the rural segments, presents
an opportunity to makers of branded products to convert consumers to branded
products. Growth is also likely to come from consumer 'upgrading' in the matured
product categories.
Much of this emerging middle class has been raised in the post liberalization era
and has an optimistic view on growth and the economy as a whole. Apart from
basic needs being satisfied, many of these households with children are trying to
help their kids get ahead and are beginning to view certain consumer goods as a
sign of the good life. These consumers view price and value for their money as

26

important aspects in their consumer purchasing and although many long for
western goods, they will not pay a premium for them.
Over 40 percent of the population in India is under 21 years of age. The
widespread presence of American media has made this market segment curious
about the outside world while still being rooted in Indian culture and traditions.
This curiosity has created a latent demand for the good life and for western style
convenience goods. Local distribution and logistics are still challenging but
continue to improve. Packaging and pricing requirements for the market are

The CPG sector has three key segments, each with its own hosts of products
that have relatively quick turnover and low costs:
Household Care

Market Entry to India


As growth opportunities abate in domestic markets, attention is shifting to new
and emerging economies. Numbers of western companies have received
substantial rewards from the newly prosperous and growing middle class in
India. Meanwhile, other companies are still wondering about the opportunities
that are lying ahead.
India, the fourth largest economy in the world (according to purchasing power
parity), presents lucrative and diverse opportunities for western companies with
the right products, services, and commitment. Indias requirements for
equipment and services for major sectors such as energy, environmental
services, healthcare, high-tech, infrastructure, transportation, and defense
Exceeds hundreds of billions of dollars in the mid-term as the Indian economy
further globalizes and expands. Indias GDP has potential for a sustained growth

of 8-10% for the next decade. Now is the time for many western companies to
enter the rising Indian market.
Early market entry to India has many advantages including:

Ability to lock-up access to key resources and create higher entry barriers
for later entrants.

28

Ability to set the pattern of buyer preference in both consumer and


industrial markets.

Ability to avail of government concessions and incentives.

Ability to observe and learn market attributes for a longer time period.
One might think that global markets are accessible only to large companies with
the deepest pockets. However, Amritts experience shows that smaller
companies (SMEs) also have potential to succeed in international trade due to
their flexibility and nimbleness.
In order to succeed in market entry to India, companies must carefully plan and
execute their go-to-market strategy since India is such a complex and
challenging country. India has various groups of consumers; their attitude,
requirements, expectations, and desires differ by region. Problems can arise
from a lack of market understanding and insufficient planning. Decisions made in
the early stage including organizational structure, partnerships, staffing, and
market risks will dramatically affect the success of the firm in the long run.
India is a fast growing economy, which many companies have leveraged to
improve their bottom-line. However, many organizations are not aware of
numerous simple steps that can be taken to avoid risks and ensure greater
success in their efforts to gain advantage working with India. Resolve significant
concerns in a confidential environment.

3.3) INDUSTRY & COMPETITION


3.3.1) Industry
Johnson & Johnson consistently ranks at the top of Harris Interactive National
Corporate Reputation Survey, ranking as the world's most respected company
by Barron's Magazine, and was the first corporation awarded the Benjamin
Franklin Award for Public Diplomacy by the U.S. State Department for its funding
of international education programs. A suit brought by the United States
Department of Justice in 2010, however, alleges that the company from 1999 to
2004 illegally marketed drugs including antipsychotics to Omnicare, a pharmacy
that dispenses the drugs in nursing homes. Johnson & Johnson responded that
the payments were lawful and appropriate.
The corporation's headquarters is located in New Brunswick, New Jersey, United
States. Its consumer division is located in Skillman, New Jersey. The corporation
includes some 250 subsidiary companies with operations in over 57 countries.
Its products are sold in over 175 countries. Johnson & Johnson had worldwide
pharmaceutical sales of $24.6 billion for the full-year 2008.
3.3.2) Competition
37

In their entire product lines, Johnson & Johnsons operating companies compete
with companies both local and Global, located throughout the world. Competition
exists in all product lines without regard to the number and size of the competing
companies involved. Competition in research, involving the development and the
improvement of new and existing products and processes, is particularly
significant. The development of new and innovative products is Important to
Johnson & Johnsons success in all areas of its business. This also includes
protecting the Companys Portfolio of intellectual property. The competitive
environment requires substantial investments in continuing Research and in
maintaining sales forces. In addition, the development and maintenance of
customer demand for the Companys consumer product involves significant
expenditures for advertising and promotion.
Mumbai, April 13: It is not only in the area of software or dotcoms where Indians
are being recognized Johnson & Johnson Vision Care general manager Rahul
Patani (the person responsible for introducing the concept of disposable contact
lenses in India) for one has been appointed as Senior Product Director, Global
Franchise, Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, USA, becoming the first J&J India
executive to be offered a global marketing position.

3.4) PORTER FIVE FORCES

a) New entrants In case of home care segment the entry barriers are low since the costs to
Set up manufacturing facility is not very high.
The exit barriers are low and thereby firms can enter and exit easily.
But the entry barriers in terms of building a national brand as well the
Distribution network is high. So is the exit barrier.

38

b) RivalryExisting players are entering new segments which will increase the
Competition e.g. Abbott Laboratories, Glaxosmith Kline, Colgate, Palmolive
Company, Pharmacia Corporation, Unilever.

c) BuyersMany drug companies available in market & buyer has many alternatives &
choices for products. Johnson & Johnson giving products at low price, good
advertising & quality products for their customers.

d) SuppliersThere are so many suppliers in market for providing raw materials.

e) SubstitutesMany alternatives available for customers in market for Pharmaceutical Industry


products.

3.5 EMERGING MARKET NEEDS

The Asia Pacific region is home to more than 4 billion people, almost 60 percent
of the worlds population. While the more affluent societies, such as Japan,
Australia, coastal China and metropolitan India, have access to innovative

39

products and services, a large segment of the population has been unable to
access or afford much beyond a very basic level of health care until now.
Recent health care reforms in India, spurred by continuing economic growth in
these countries, are creating possibilities for governments to deliver a higher
standard of care to many more people. Such reforms, along with the rise of a
middle class and expectations of a better quality of life, are providing
Johnson & Johnson with an enormous opportunity to address a previously
underserved market.
These mass markets are being addressed with a different business model that is
focused on bringing an appropriate portfolio of technology and products to
smaller and more rural health care settings, matching the specific range of
procedures offered. This approach has led to the development of high-quality,
affordable products that provide superior outcomes for patients who would not
otherwise have access to such technology.
3.5.1) ENABLING PERFORMANCE TODAY
The organizational design for JJSC includes a new operating model for Quality &
Compliance (Q&C) and a new structure for Supply Chain Strategy and Project
Management. Cross-sector collaboration that the new enterprise model helps
facilitate is already playing out in recovery plans related to manufacturing issues
experienced at McNeil Consumer Healthcare.
The McNeil situation has all of us rethinking business continuity planning and
how we utilize our plants and partner suppliers, says Robert Salerno, Vice
President, Supply Chain Strategy and Project Management, JJSC. Rather than
plan around one operating unit, we can approach manufacturing from a
Johnson & Johnson vantage point. With the new supply chain model, were more
able to leverage assets, best practices, systems and technologies while offering
supply chain leaders professional development opportunities across our
companies.
The new operating model will also create a single framework for Q&C across
companies, inclusive of common quality standards by product types such as
devices, drugs and combination products.
40

By standardizing processes in our quality systems and by providing greater


oversight in this area, we can reduce complexity and risk in the area of quality,
says Kathy Wangle, Chief Quality Officer, and JJSC.
Our supply chain organization is a large part of which we are as a company and
plays a vital role in our ability to meet the needs of our customers, says Ajit
Shetty, Ph.D., Corporate Vice President responsible for JJSC. We have
deployed a new supply chain operating model that will enable growth, drive
quality and compliance, and help us run more efficiently so we can more
effectively serve patients and consumers worldwide.

CHAPTER 4
COMPANY MARKETING
STRATEGY
41

4.1) COMPANY PROFILE:

About company

The company has historically been located on the Delaware and Raritan Canal
in New Brunswick. The company considered moving its headquarters out of New
Brunswick in the 1960s, but decided to stay in town after city officials promised
to gentrify downtown New Brunswick by demolishing old buildings and
constructing new ones. While New Brunswick lost at least one historic edifice
(the inn where Rutgers University began) to the redevelopment, the gentrification
did attract people back to New Brunswick. Johnson & Johnson hired Henry N.
Cobb from Pei Cobb Freed & Partners to design an addition to its headquarters,
which took the form of a white tower in a park across the railroad tracks from the
older portion of the headquarters. The stretch of Delaware and Raritan canal by
the company's headquarters was replaced by a stretch of Route 18 in the late
1970s, after a lengthy dispute.
Johnson & Johnson spread its roots to the worlds largest democracy, India,
during the endemic post-independence turmoil of 1947. It was Mr. Patrick
Whaley who set about with confidence and determination during this period of
turbulence to begin the wok of establishing Johnson & Johnson in the
42

subcontinent. Things progressed quickly and by 1948, Johnsons Baby Powder


was being manufactured by British Drug House in Prabhadevi, Bombay, and
marketed by the company.
Other consumer products like TEK toothbrushes, Johnsons Baby Cream and
Prickly Heat Powder followed suit. However, highly specialized products like
Belladonna plasters, pharmaceuticals and Premade Tapes were imported from
the parent company. It was only ten years later that the company began to
manufacture its own products. .
In the 50 years since its establishment as a modest 12-employee outfit, Johnson
& Johnson Ltd. has gained a reputation for delivering high-quality products at
competitive prices. Our success, we believe, stems from our staunch
commitment to caring for and catering to the needs of our customers and
employees.
J&J has always had a tradition of developing an environment that is conducive
for learning both in a structured setting as well as on the job. On the job
coaching for us, forms the most important method of developing new skills and
competencies in all employees. Therefore a lot of emphasis is laid on developing
feedback and coaching skills among all Managers.
That apart, a number of innovative programs have been developed that come to
us from J&J Worldwide, Integrity Selling, Management Development Program,
Spreading the Credo, and Advertising Leadership Program are some such
programs.
Depending on his present and future needs, the development objectives of the
individual employee are culled in conjunction with the Training Partner( a specific
line individual who supports HR in need assessment and learning delivery), and
the Department of Learning and Development within HRD.
We also encourage the development of internal trainers who have in the past
delivered programs in the area of their expertise, thus honing their own
facilitation skills in the process. J&J also believes in the use of outbound fun
filled learning and development activities as means to build teams within the
organization.
43

4.2) Compensation & Benefits:

The Compensation & Benefits Committee, composed entirely of independent


Directors, establishes the Companys executive compensation philosophy and
principles and approves the annual compensation and long-term incentives for
the Companys directors and executive officers. The Committee also reviews the
philosophy and policies of the non-Board Management Compensation
Committee, which determines management compensation and establishes
perquisites and other compensation policies for non-executive employees.
Additionally, the Committee oversees the management of the various retirement,
pension, long-term incentive, savings, health and welfare plans that cover the
Companys employees.

4.3) MARKETING STRATEGY (1.Segmentatiion 2.Targeting 3.Positioning)

a) Segmenting

Firstly they are segmenting on the basis of geographical location; that is the
different cities. Once the whole market is segmented on this basis we further
segment it on the basis of income that is the upper class and the middle class.
44

b) Targeting

They are mainly targeting on urban areas & among the segmented population it
targets those people who care for their health, people undergoing any
medication.

c) Positioning

their customers health and who produces quality and vital health supplements
required to maintain a good health.

4.6.1) Johnson & Johnson to import Neutrogena into India:


After almost eight years, healthcare and FMCG Major Johnson& Johnson is
looking to add a new brand to its consumer goods portfolio.
In India, J&J's consumer business contributes to over 50% of total sales and
apart from its core baby care products, also spans brands like band-aid, savlon,
carefree, Stayfree and clean and clear. When introduced Neutrogena will be J&J
India's most premium product line & may be distributed only in large format and
boutique stores.
The luxury skin care and beauty products market is still a miniscule Rs 150
crore, but demand has been growing over the last few years with brands like
LOreal expanding their range and international majors like Boots, Elizabeth
Arden and Clarions entering the country.
Incidentally the last brand that Johnson & Johnson introduced in the market was
clean & clear - all the way back in 1997. Dealers say - it has since fallen behind
because of lack of brand support. It remains to be seen what the kind of push
J&J's gives Neutrogena given that it will be the company's first new brand in
close to a decade.

NURTURING GROWTH TOMORROW


In addition to improving quality and compliance, the new model is designed to
enable growth and improve efficiency and effectiveness. Again, cross-sector
collaborationkey to bringing forth health care technologies that draw on
expertise from more than one business segmentwill flourish as manufacturing
and quality experts from various business units have opportunities to combine
their talents.
Campus Ireland is one example. There are six manufacturing facilities in
Ireland across our Medical Devices and Diagnostics and Pharmaceutical
54

businesses. The close proximity of these facilities enables the companies to


work collaboratively on a range of projects while facilitating the transfer of
employees between sites for specific projects, career development and
promotion opportunities. Campus leaders in Ireland are also working toward
creation of a shared state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for convergent medical
technology products.
Our journey to coordinate our supply chain organizations is under way, Shetty
says. The operating model has the potential to benefit those we serve by driving
quality, efficiency and effectiveness in all we do and touchingand transforming
lives for years to come.

The Consumer business is moving into these alternate channels and building
organizational capabilities to support the strategy. The Korean skin care market
is one example.

engaging consumers with content and solutions for acne through a clear-skin

purchase, were the brands main revenue drivers. Strategic alliances with top
online retailers helped make CLEAN & CLEAR the No. 1 teen skin care brand

products.
Doctors will recommend for mothers & all mid-age people to use the

Company should organize to create very attractive advertisements and try


to pull customer attention either by Television or by Print. J & J can rope in
good advertisement agency.
The sales promotional activities give the desired effect only when they are
Flexible.
While the company is focusing on upper middle class and upper class
customers, offers like free lunch box on purchase of honey is not suitable.
Thus the offers should be made flexible giving an equal amount of price
discount on rejecting the gift.
Company should also provide a discount at the outlets on bulk purchases.

The company should strictly ask the customers feedback about the FMCG
products, baby care products once in 6 months.

The company should sales their products in sachets instead of pet bottles
in Rural & Semi Urban areas.
