Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is twofold: first, to determine if pharmaceutical companies can be grouped based on their espoused values, and second, to examine the relationship between these values and company reputation.

Design/methodology/approach

A descriptive study design is used with two separate analyses: cluster analysis for grouping the companies; and descriptive data analysis for determining cluster differences.

Findings

The findings suggest that there are three value clusters: competent, community and interpersonal, with the community group showing the highest relative reputation, and the interpersonal cluster as the lowest. Brand portfolio composition appears to positively contribute to reputation. The effect of portfolio specialization is based on a company’s closeness to its therapeutic community, which may be influenced by the outward characteristics of its values.

Research limitations/implications

Future research should examine the longitudinal effects of values on reputation combined with case studies.

Practical implications

Regardless of cluster classification, all firms should develop strong ties with their therapeutic communities using both personal and digital/omnichannel strategies.

Social implications

A company’s values are becoming an important consideration for all customers and stakeholders.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to systematically examine the activities of leading pharmaceutical firms to link a specific value cluster to company reputation.

Abstract

While it would be foolish to deny that morality is co‐extensive with the whole range of human activity, it is nevertheless true that some areas of that activity raise moral questions in greater numbers and with greater density than others. It follows that there will be considerable variation in the degree to which moral considerations permeate management of such activity. A good case can be made for the claim that management of the provision of health care comes high in the list of those areas where moral values shape and identify the character of the decisions to be made in the most intimate and penetrating way.

Abstract

The librarian and researcher have to be able to uncover specific articles in their areas of interest. This Bibliography is designed to help. Volume IV, like Volume III, contains features to help the reader to retrieve relevant literature from MCB University Press' considerable output. Each entry within has been indexed according to author(s) and the Fifth Edition of the SCIMP/SCAMP Thesaurus. The latter thus provides a full subject index to facilitate rapid retrieval. Each article or book is assigned its own unique number and this is used in both the subject and author index. This Volume indexes 29 journals indicating the depth, coverage and expansion of MCB's portfolio.

Abstract

The exploitation of new technologies and effective technology transfer are vital ingredients for the long‐term competitiveness of all organizations. When referring to developments in food technologies, the use of the term “new” will mainly be in the context of new to the user rather than new to science. Provides a brief overview of some of the recently established processes such as ohmic heating, microwave sterilization and novel methods to decontaminate herbs and spices, which are starting to have an impact on the food industry.

Abstract

The system for the provision of supplies in the UK National Health Service is being continually ‘redisorganised’ in an effort to improve efficiency and get better value for money. Alongside these reorganisations, the regulation of the supply of pharmaceuticals to the NHS is also being altered. What are the differences between these two processes and can any obvious lessons be learnt from the ways in which the NHS seeks to control the prices, qualities and quantities of products in these two closely related areas of supplies?
