Case Study: London Drugs
We as a group have decided to go with London Drugs for our final project. We chose London Drugs because it started off as a small company based right here in Vancouver. Now there are over 35 stores across Western Canada. It is a local Canadian company, that isn’t too large yet there is enough information about it. We also frequently make purchases at London Drugs ourselves. The type of customer service we receive there makes us want to continuously shop there and this has us intrigued to learn more about the actual company.

We have decided to choose employee motivation and engagement as our main topic. The two related topics we will also be researching are leadership and personality styles.

Preliminary Plan:
We are going to do the research

    Humans have for centuries tried to alter their state of consciousness using various ways. These ways include dancing, chanting, holding their breath, and various plants or drugs. Drugs were not a concern of the people or of the government until the Chinese railroad workers were smoking opium in the United States. This began to raise concern and led to laws being passed to regulate drugs. However, those laws were replaced with a stricter version called the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970. This act called for more enforcement of drugs in the United States. Within this act was the controlled substance act which allowed the government to not only control drugs but also allowed them to be classified. While this…

    An example of an issue with pharmaceutical drug corporations is the ethics associated with researching the drugs. For example, Pfizer caused an international scandal when they illegally tested a drug to cure meningitis in Nigeria. 11 children died due to not enough research into the effects of the drug on children. This is an ethical issue, as if Pfizer had done effective research, and received correct authorisation, those children could have been saved. Another issue with research is that drug companies only research profitable drugs. In order to stay afloat, drug companies need to produce a billion dollar drug every few years. Pfizer’s main drug is Viagra for example, which has little impact on global health, and so an issue is that drug companies spend more money researching drugs which don’t matter globally, than on diseases which affect the poorer countries.…
