From editor Mickey Smith: “Looking back on 40 years of experience, I’ve recently begun saying that most of the things I knew about pharmaceutical marketing over the years that made me so smart are not true anymore. But the fact is that the principles of marketing are as true as they were when they appeared in my first book (published in 1968). What has changed, and had to change, was the way the principles are applied.
“This book is based on the premise that marketing follows certain principles and that pharmaceutical marketing is affected by a variety of environmental influences which lead to a rich array of marketing practices. These practices are presented to demonstrate how the successful application of marketing principles—with appropriate adaptation to environmental forces—can lead to success in the marketplace. Failures are also presented.”
This well-referenced book explores and explains the principles and practical application of vital elements of pharmaceutical marketing, including:
- product pricing—with sections on trends, competition, reimbursement programs, public policy, and more
- research and development—including strategies relating to new products, product scope, positioning and repositioning, product elimination, diversification, and a fascinating case study about Ibuprofen
- promotion—rational and nonrational appeals, advertising prescription drugs to consumers, strategic choices among media types, budgeting, and more
- place factors, channel systems, physical distribution, and specialists
- and much more!
