Executive Summary
5 | Page

This report provides an analysis and evaluation of the current and prospective
profitability, liquidity and financial stability of Outdoor Equipment
Ltd. Methods of analysis include trend, horizontal and vertical analyses as well
as ratios such as Debt, Current and Quick ratios. Other calculations include rates
of return on Shareholders Equity and Total Assets and earnings per share to
name a few. All calculations can be found in the appendices. Results of data
analysed show that all ratios are below industry averages. In particular,
comparative performance is poor in the areas of profit margins, liquidity, credit
control, and inventory management.
The report finds the prospects of the company in its current position are not
positive. The major areas of weakness require further investigation and remedial
action by management. Recommendations discussed include:
improving the average collection period for accounts receivable

improving/increasing inventory turnover

reducing prepayments and perhaps increasing inventory levels

The report also investigates the fact that the analysis conducted has
limitations. Some of the limitations include:
forecasting figures are not provided nature and type of company is not
known nor the current economic conditions data limitations as not
enough information is provided or enough detail i.e. monthly details not
known results are based on past performances not present

Innovation in Healthcare Delivery Systems: A Conceptual

Framework
(By: Mr. Norman G. Einspruch, University of Miami, 2010)
The healthcare industry has experienced a proliferation of innovations aimed at
enhancing life expectancy, quality of life, diagnostic and treatment options, as
well as the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the healthcare system.
Information technology has played a vital role in the innovation of healthcare
systems.
Despite the surge in innovation, theoretical research on the art and science of
healthcare innovation has been limited. One of the driving forces in research is a
conceptual framework that provides researchers with the foundation upon which
their studies are built
. This paper begins with a definition of healthcare innovation and an
understanding of how innovation occurs in healthcare. A conceptual framework
is then developed which articulates the intervening variables that drive
innovation in healthcare.
Based on the proposed definition of healthcare innovation, the dimensions of
healthcare innovation, the process of healthcare innovation and the conceptual
framework, this paper opens the door for researchers to address several
questions regarding innovation in healthcare.

Development of a Model for Healthcare Service Quality:

An Application to the Private Healthcare Sector in Egypt
(By: Dr Ingy Mohamed Fikry Farid, Maastricht School of Management, 2008)
While quality in tangible goods has been thoroughly described and measured by
marketers, quality of services has yet a lot to be done. Accurate measurement of
service quality as perceived by patients has yet to reach a consensus for
healthcare organizations. To this day for the healthcare service market in Egypt
and the Arab world, there is a need for a healthcare service quality model that
takes into consideration a complete coverage of the dimensions that consumers
use in evaluating healthcare service quality. The research to be conducted will
focus on service quality, patient satisfaction and intentions to return, and the
consumer role in the medical service encounter.
The main objective of this research was to formulate and empirically
investigate a fully tested and applicable healthcare service quality model that
encompasses the criteria consumers use in evaluating healthcare in Egypt for
private sector hospitals.
Also, research aims to provide a valid and reliable scale with which healthcare
providers can use for measurement of the service quality in their organizations.
The current research was composed of two phases. The first phase aimed to
develop the model and questionnaire through a secondary data gathering
process, qualitative interviews with experts and Egyptian patients and a pilot
study. The second phase was a full-fledged quantitative survey to test and verify
the model and the scale developed for the Egyptian market.

Health Care Marketing: The Theory of Planned Behavior

Applied to Patients Choice between Private and Public
Providers in the Portuguese Health Care System.
(By: Mr. Filipa Monteiro Ferreira, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 2011)
The Portuguese health care system has been evolving throughout the last 35
years with two relevant facts: the public sector has progressed with
improvement in all relevant OECD indicators; the private sector has been
widened and reinforced. In this framework, it is important to understand how
patients intention and behavior are built, so health care organizations in both
sectors (public and private) can improve their health care provision (particularly
in health care marketing), invest and develop those areas that might become
sustainable competitive advantages. The most established theory of social
psychology explaining human behavior will be applied: Theory of Planned
Behavior (TPB). Within this conceptual approach, attitude toward the behavior,
subjective norm, perceived behavior control, habit and past experience
evaluation (satisfaction on the private and public sectors) will be analyzed in
explaining the intention to go to the private sector. As the health care system is
not homogeneous across the private and public sectors, five models will be
tested in the areas that have been identified with distinct supplies: general
practice,

specialist

consultation,

emergency,

ambulatory

surgery

and

hospitalization.

Marketing a Health Care Product to Different

Industry

(By: Olle Persson, Lulea University of Technology, 2008)

This thesis aims to study the marketing for a health care company towards other
industries and what marketing tools that are most effective. It consists of
marketing a product on a new market and what the company needs to focus on.
The study also includes the limitations that might occur when being a small
company on this market. We found the subject highly relevant to our education
when we are studying International Business where Marketing is our main
subject.
First this study will introduce the problem which will be then followed by the
relevant theories concerning the subject. After that, we have introduced the
approaches and methods used for this study. Lastly, the empirical data will be
collected and analyzed in order to answer our purpose and research questions.
In this thesis we conducted a case study on the company HLR I NORR which is
in the planning of launching a product towards potential customers. To gather
the information needed we interviewed three other companies relevant to the
research.
This study has found that the marketing theories concerning situation analysis
can be applicable for this industry. However, some of the parts in analysis have
proven to be less important than others. This study also found out that there are
marketing tools that are more useful than others. Based on the conclusion we
have conducted implications of management for HLR I. NORR.

Introduction to The Study

Market Analysis
The goal of a market analysis is to determine the attractiveness of a market and
to understand its evolving opportunities and threats as they relate to the
strengths and weaknesses of the firm.
David A. Aaker outlined the following dimensions of a market analysis:
Market size (current and future)
Market growth rate
Market profitability
Industry cost structure
Distribution channels
Market trends
Key success factors
Market Size
The size of the market can be evaluated based on present sales and on potential
sales if the use of the product were expanded. The following are some
information sources for determining market size:
15 | P a g e

 government data
trade associations
financial data from major players
customer surveys

Market Growth Rate

A simple means of forecasting the market growth rate is to extrapolate historical
data into the future. While this method may provide a first-order estimate, it
does not predict important turning points.
Important inflection points in the market growth rate sometimes can be
predicted by constructing a product diffusion curve. The shape of the curve can
be estimated by studying the characteristics of the adoption rate of a similar
product in the past.
Ultimately, the maturity and decline stages of the product life cycle will be
reached. Some leading indicators of the decline phase include price pressure
caused by competition, a decrease in brand loyalty, the emergence of substitute
products, market saturation, and the lack of growth drivers.

16 | P a g e

Market Profitability
While different firms in a market will have different levels of profitability, the
average profit potential for a market can be used as a guideline for knowing
how difficult it is to make money in the market.
Michael Porter devised a useful framework for evaluating the attractiveness of
an industry or market. This framework, known as Porter's five forces, identifies
five factors that influence the market profitability:
Buyer power
Supplier power
Barriers to entry

17 | P a g e

 Threat of substitute products

Rivalry among firms in the industry

Industry Cost Structure

The cost structure is important for identifying key factors for success. To this
end, Porter's value chain model is useful for determining where value is added
and for isolating the costs.
The cost structure also is helpful for formulating strategies to develop a
competitive advantage. For example, in some environments the experience
curve effect can be used to develop a cost advantage over competitors.

Distribution Channels
The following aspects of the distribution system are useful in a market analysis:
Existing distribution channels - can be described by how direct they are to
the customer.
Trends and emerging channels - new channels can offer the opportunity
to develop a competitive advantage.
Channel power structure - for example, in the case of a product having
little brand equity, retailers have negotiating power over manufacturers
and can capture more margins.
18 | P a g e

Market Trends
Changes in the market are important because they often are the source of new
opportunities and threats. The relevant trends are industry-dependent, but some
examples include changes in price sensitivity, demand for variety, and level of
emphasis on service and support. Regional trends also may be relevant.
Key Success Factors
The key success factors are those elements that are necessary in order for the
firm to achieve its marketing objectives. A few examples of such factors
include:
Access to essential unique resources
Ability to achieve economies of scale
Access to distribution channels
Technological progress
It is important to consider that key success factors may change over time,
especially as the product progresses through its life cycle.
market is any one of a variety of different systems, institutions, procedures,
social relations and infrastructures whereby persons trade, and goods and
services are exchanged, forming part of the economy. It is an arrangement that
allows buyers and sellers to exchange things.[1] Markets vary in size, range,
geographic scale, location, types and variety of human communities, as well as
the types of goods and services traded. Some examples include local farmers

markets held in town squares or parking lots, shopping centers and shopping
malls, international currency and commodity markets, legally created markets
such as for pollution permits, and illegal markets such as the market for illicit
drugs.

Chapter 3
Comparative Analysis of Hetero
Drugs Ltd with Dr. Reddys Lab
Limited.

COMPARTIVE ANALYSIS

Every Company has a rival who is equal in ranks, values and has same
allegations. The company that can successfully give competition to the vast
product line and consumer base is only Dr. Reddys Laboratories.

Company Overview:

Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, is an Indian multinational pharmaceutical company

based in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The company was founded by Anji
Reddy, who previously worked in the mentor institute, Indian Drugs and
Pharmaceuticals Limited, of Hyderabad, India. Dr. Reddy's manufactures and
markets a wide range of pharmaceuticals in India and overseas. The company
has over 190 medications, 60 active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for drug
manufacture, diagnostic kits, critical care, and biotechnology products.

Dr. Reddy's began as a supplier to Indian drug manufacturers, but it soon started
exporting to other less-regulated markets that had the advantage of not having to
spend time and money on a manufacturing plant that would gain approval from
a drug licensing body such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

By the early 1990s, the expanded scale and profitability from these unregulated
markets enabled the company to begin focusing on getting approval from drug
regulators for their formulations and bulk drug manufacturing plants in moredeveloped economies. This allowed their movement into regulated markets such
as the US and Europe. In 2014, Dr. Reddy Laboratories was listed among 1200
of India's most trusted brands according to the Brand Trust Report 2014, a study
conducted by Trust Research Advisory, a brand analytics company.

By 2007, Dr. Reddy's had six FDA plants producing active pharmaceutical
ingredients in India and seven FDA-inspected and ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO
14001 (environmental management) certified plants making patient-ready
medications five of them in India and two in the UK.

In 2010, the family-controlled Dr Reddy's denied that it was in talks to sell its
generics business in India to US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, which had been
suing the company for alleged patent infringement after Dr Reddy's announced
that it intended to produce a generic version of atorvastatin, marketed by Pfizer
as Lipitor, an anti-cholesterol medication. Reddy's was already linked to UK
pharmaceuticals multinational Glaxo Smithkline.

Analysis of Market Research on Health Care Products

a) Global Generics
Branded Generics: We seek to have a portfolio that is strongly differentiated
and offers compelling advantages to doctors and patients.
Unbranded Generics: We aim to ensure that we deliver first to market products
to our customers, including pharmacy chains and distributors, and that they
have high product availability from us combined with low inventories, resulting
in superior inventory turns while addressing the customers needs.

b) Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients

Our product offerings are geared to offer intellectual property and technologyadvantaged products to enable launches ahead of others at competitive prices.
In the area of services, we aim to offer niche product service capabilities,
technology platforms, and competitive cost structures to innovator companies.

Global Generics Segment

During the year ended March 31, 2009, we re-organized our worldwide finished
dosages businesses to focus on certain key geographies and gradually exited
some very small, distributor driven markets. This move represented an
important new focus to consolidate and grow our presence in the key
geographies where we already had a considerable presence.

Today, we are one of the leading generic pharmaceutical companies in the

world. With the integration of all the markets where we are selling generics
pharmaceuticals into our Global Generics segment, our front-end business
strategies in various markets and our support services in India are increasingly
being developed with a view to leverage our global infrastructure.

c) Proprietary Products
Differentiated Formulations: Our emerging Differentiated Formulations
portfolio, which consists of new, synergistic combinations as well as
technologies that improve safety and/or efficacy by modifying
pharmacokinetics of existing medicines, is focused on significant clinically
unmet needs. We are also investigating new indications for existing medicines.
New Chemical Entities (NCEs): We are also focused in the discovery,
development and commercialization of novel small molecule agents in
therapeutic areas such as bacterial infections, metabolic disorders and pain and
inflammation.

Analysis on Execution Excellence (Building Blocks):

Lean Manufacturing Eliminating waste and reducing cycle time, with a focus
on capacity constrained resources.
Quality by Design Building quality into all processes and using quality tools
to eliminate process risks.
Principles of the Theory of Constraints We apply these principles primarily in
supply chain and product development. This ensures high availability with low
inventory through a pull-based logistics system. It also ensures speed in product
development through critical chain project management.
Leadership Development - Developing leaders, as well as enhancing leadership
behavior across the organization.

Market Research and Strategies by Dr. Reddys Lab

Analysis on Healthcare reforms and reference pricing

The Russian governments prioritization plan for the pharmaceutical market is
making a transition from a largely out-of pocket market to the western European
model of centralized reimbursements. In January 2005, Russias federal drug
supply system was introduced with the objective of subsidizing medicine
expenditures for sectors of the population with low income or certain categories
of illnesses.
The initial budget provided approximately 10% of the population with statefunded benefits for medicine expenditures. In late 2007, the Russian
government decentralized the DLO and split it into two components. The first
component, known as the 7 nosologies program, remains centralized and covers
expensive treatments for patients with certain severe chronic diseases.
The second component, known as the ONLS program, involves regional
purchasing and covers the medicines reimbursed for patients who are designated
members of vulnerable groups, such as children, pregnant women, veterans and
the elderly. During the year ended March 31, 2010, the Russian government
announced a reference pricing regime, pursuant to which a price freeze on
certain drugs categorized as essential was implemented effective as of April
2010. Pharmaceutical companies have had to register maximum import prices
for approximately 5,000 drugs on a list of Essential and Vital Drugs.

Marketing Effort / Marketing Control:
The company wants to design and put in to action the marketing mix that
will best achieves its objectives in its target markets.
Market Trends
Changes in the market are important because they often are the source of new
opportunities and threats. The relevant trends are industry-dependent, but some
examples include changes in price sensitivity, demand for variety, and level of
emphasis on service and support. Regional trends also may be relevant.
Key Success Factors
The key success factors are those elements that are necessary in order for the
firm to achieve its marketing objectives. A few examples of such factors
include:
Access to essential unique resources
Ability to achieve economies of scale
Access to distribution channels
Technological progress
It is important to consider that key success factors may change over time,
especially as the product progresses through its life cycle.

Market is any one of a variety of different systems, institutions, procedures,

social relations and infrastructures whereby persons trade, and goods and
services are exchanged, forming part of the economy. It is an arrangement that
allows buyers and sellers to exchange things.[1] Markets vary in size, range,
geographic scale, location, types and variety of human communities, as well as
the types of goods and services traded. Some examples include local farmers
markets held in town squares or parking lots, shopping centers and shopping
malls, international currency and commodity markets, legally created markets
such as for pollution permits, and illegal markets such as the market for illicit
drugs.
In mainstream economics, the concept of a market is any structure that allows
buyers and sellers to exchange any type of goods, services and information. The
exchange of goods or services for money is a transaction. Market participants
consist of all the buyers and sellers of a good who influence its price. This
influence is a major study of economics and has given rise to several theories
and models concerning the basic market forces of supply and demand. There are
two roles in markets, buyers and sellers.

A Bloomberg Terminal displays live trading data from financial markets

Financial markets facilitate the exchange of liquid assets. Most investors prefer
investing in two markets, the stock markets and the bond markets. NYSE,
AMEX, and the NASDAQ are the most common stock markets in the US.
Futures markets, where contracts are exchanged regarding the future delivery of
goods are often an outgrowth of general commodity markets.
Currency markets are used to trade one currency for another, and are often used
for speculation on currency exchange rates.
The money market is the name for the global market for lending and borrowing.
Prediction markets are a type of speculative market in which the goods
exchanged are futures on the occurrence of certain events. They apply the
market dynamics to facilitate information aggregation.
A market can be organized as an auction, as a private electronic market, as a
commodity wholesale market, as a shopping center, as a complex institution
such as a stock market, and as an informal discussion between two individuals.
Markets of varying types can spontaneously arise whenever a party has interest
in a good or service that some other party can provide. Hence there can be a
market for cigarettes in correctional facilities, another for chewing gum in a
playground, and yet another for contracts for the future delivery of a
commodity. There can be black markets, where a good is exchanged illegally
and virtual markets, such as eBay, in which buyers and sellers do not physically
interact during negotiation. There can also be markets for goods under a
command economy despite pressure to repress them.
In economics, a market that runs under laissez-faire policies is a free market. It
is "free" in the sense that the government makes no attempt to intervene through

taxes, subsidies, minimum wages, price ceilings, etc. Market prices may be
distorted by a seller or sellers with monopoly power, or a buyer with
monopsony power. Such price distortions can have an adverse effect on market
participant's welfare and reduce the efficiency of market outcomes. Also, the
level of organization or negotiation power of buyers, markedly affects the
functioning of the market. Markets where price negotiations meet equilibrium
though still do not arrive at desired outcomes for both sides are said to
experience market failure.
