    The Vietnam War was a battle that seems to have taught the American Military and Government officials a lot about cooperative working and strategic planning. Each American involved most likely has a different story to tell about the War from the ground soldiers all the way up to President Johnson. However, each participated in a mission driven cooperative work environment with many different thinking styles. These styles included strategic thinkers, tactical planners, and logisticians to name a few. Each thinking style plays a critical role in the development and progression in an organization like the armed forces in the Vietnam War.…

    Global pharmaceuticals grew by 3.6% in 2010 to reach over $733 billion with projections reaching $981 billion by the year 2015 (Pharmaceuticals Industry Profile: Global, 2011). Pfizer, the world leader in the global pharmaceuticals market, controls an impressive 9.4% of the global market share (Pharmaceuticals Industry Profile: Global, 2011). Sometimes described as Frankenstein’s Monster, Pfizer has been aggressively swallowing up smaller companies since the early 1990’s to become the present day drug giant. Pfizer along with other companies will be facing a fork in the road in the near future as they exit their blockbuster growth with the expiration of many of the company’s most successful drug patents.
