Transnationalization of Indian Pharmaceutical SMEs by Jaya Prakash Pradhan PDF Summary

Book Description: Indian pharmaceutical small and medium enterprises (SMEs) were traditionally less transnationalized as compared to their large counterparts. National market was their primary focus and their cost-based competitive strategies were sufficient in providing them a sustainable growth within the protective domestic environment created by strong policy interventions. With large scale liberalization measures since 1990s these SMEs are now required to face a globalized competition and are force to transnationalize their business operations to survive. Given the significance of pharmaceutical SMEs in terms of production units, drug production, workers and health security, the issue of transnationalization of these SMEs is of paramount policy relevance. This book critically analyzes the ways in which Indian pharmaceutical SMEs can integrate themselves into the global markets with special focus on the entry strategy of exporting and outward foreign direct investment (OFDI). The transnationalization behaviours of pharmaceutical SMEs has been analyzed from the perspectives of firm-specific factors such as technologies, scale, learning, skills, etc and the overall policy environment. Apart from undertaking pioneering attempt in estimating the size of SME sector in Indian pharmaceutical industry and adopting improved methodology to the analysis of SMEs’ export behaviour, this book has contributed significantly in the understanding of Indian pharmaceutical SMEs’ export behaviour through case study approach. It has successfully brought out various lessons that Indian pharmaceutical SMEs are required to be aware when transnationalizing their businesses. In general pharmaceutical SMEs seem to have a great potential for transnationalization through exports and outward FDI but constrained due to limited financial, technological capabilities and inadequate policy support. After critically evaluating the existing policy framework for the pharmaceutical SMEs, the book advocates urgent need for provision of sufficient low cost finance, strengthening access to national research laboratories, discriminatory incentive rates for SMEs vis-à-vis large firms, promoting pharmaceutical SME cluster and continuous training programmes in transnationalization.
