Your course grade will be based on original
research and a report that you will write (as a team) on the U. S.
pharmaceutical industry and Pfizer, Inc. You will be assigned to a group and
your group will be assigned to either internal or external analysis. The
external analysis should be an application of the material covered in Chapter 3
of your textbook. Please note that an industry analysis focuses on the
industry, competitors, and trends of the entire 5 pharmaceutical industry – not
Pfizer. The internal analysis should be an application of the material covered
in Chapter 4. The outlines for both projects are provided below. Your final
projects should be rich in detail and well supported by properly cited (APA)
secondary sources. I encourage you to use the Business Source Ultimate database
that is available through the link to the university library.
