Knowledge is the most valuable asset of a pharmaceutical company. It is also seen through the ages that only those who make a systematic effort can acquire knowledge. Today, knowledge management is a growing field of study. Several principles of management apply to knowledge management as well. One can go back to the time of the Hawthorne experiments to prove this point. It differs from other business processes, where only information handling is given much importance. On the other hand, knowledge management, particularly in the area of pharmaceuticals, requires expertise in several related fields. The paper presents three simple theoretical models for information sharing, building a knowledge pool and for knowledge audit. This paper attempts a review of handling and sharing of knowledg...

With many corporations becoming increasingly socially 'conscious', there has been a spurt in literature in recent times on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Various aspects of CSR have been reviewed in this paper, including the rationale for CSR, the stakeholder view of CSR amongst other theories, the reasons for the success and failure of CSR, the relationship between CSR and the firm's financial performance. An attempt has been made to review CSR across various contexts-large firms and SMEs, European, American and Asian nations, internal and external CSR disclosures on the web, etc. Both qualitative and empirical papers were part of the review. This review furthers the belief of the growing importance of CSR globally.

Despite efforts on the part of commerce ministry and Pharmaceuticals Export Promotion Council (Pharmexcil) to assure representatives of these countries that these products pose no health risks, are efficacious and do not violate intellectual property laws, a third African country, Libya, has followed suit by seizing some consignments and holding back consignments at ports, citing a notification dated June 9, banning the imports of drugs from non-EU and non-North American countries.

October 1985. Venue: Cabinet Secretariat. In the chair: Cabinet Secretary P.K. Kaul. You could call it a meeting on downsizing government. You could even dub it one more attempt at introspection as 55 secretaries of the Government of India presented their ideas on what the Government should do or not do. Amidst the gab fest, one thought received a lot of attention. Since most of the controls on steel and coal had been withdrawn, should these ministries exist? The question was debated, but never really answered. Since the exercise 22 years ago, inspired by Rajiv Gandhi's legendary impatience with sloth, the number of secretaries to the Government of India has ballooned to 84, the size of the Union Council of Ministers has nearly doubled from 42 to 79, including 35 Cabinet ministers and s...
