Generics in the emerging markets: Boom or bubble?
10 May 2011
Generics in the emerging markets: Boom or bubble?

Overview

The last few years have seen a spate of M&A deals in the emerging markets, with big pharma companies paying ever-increasing earnings multiples to acquire generic assets in countries that have strong growth prospects but populations with low purchasing power. Generics companies have also been trying to enter these markets, but have had to use more complex strategies as they have largely been priced out of competitive auctions.

In this session, we will examine whether the emerging markets really are the big opportunity that the pharmaceutical industry hopes. How are these countries likely to evolve in the wake of the recent economic crisis? And who is best placed to benefit from any coming changes – generic companies or big pharma? Or are the two likely to become indistinguishable as their business models converge in branded generic markets?

We also take a practical look at how best to build a successful branded generic business in the emerging markets, including strategies to deal with the biggest challenges that new entrants are likely to face.

 

Session Objectives

The session will examine the challenges and opportunities offered by the emerging markets, and help participants to develop successful strategies for market entry.

The speakers will present structured content in a practical and interactive session, providing the opportunity for attendees to add to the debate by discussing their own experiences.

  • How can new entrants overcome the challenges and develop the opportunities in emerging markets?

WHAT IS CPD?

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

GLOBAL CPD

Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
