Principles of Management
The Economic Condition: Interest rates, inflation changes in disposable income, stock market
fluctuations, foreign exchange rate, financing organizations investment opportunity the stage of
general business cycle are some economic factors that can affect management practices on
Beximco Pharma. We can further divide the economic conditions in few parts based on their
type. These are following:
01. Change in inflation
02. Change in exchange rates
03. Change in interest rates
04. Change in Gross Domestic Product
05. Change in unemployment rate
01. Change in Inflation: The present scenario is if there any changes in inflation, it may create
an impact on Beximco Pharmas action in various ways. A potential rise in inflation rates would
mean that the cost of raw materials would increase thus decreasing the profit margin of Beximco
Pharma. If inflation increases, this would translate in increased products prices, and Beximco
Pharmas imports could decrease since buyers may go elsewhere looking for competitive prices
and Beximco Pharma would the suffer adverse consequences given the amount of resources
employed in increasing production capacity. Thats why it has present status of occurrences.
02. Change in Exchange Rates: Considering the status of occurrence of the change in exchange
rates are potential. Change in exchange rate put some significant impact on the action of
Beximco Pharma. As Beximco Pharma is operating their business all around the world, so they
may face with the problem of decision making process. Exchange rates would play a major role.
03. Change in Interest Rates: Change in interest rate is a potential factor. Beximco Pharmas
business will be directly affected by the change of interest rates. Interest rate change also affects
on individuals or customers. If interest rates change, the incentive for individuals to take out
loans to buy goods will change.
04. Change in Gross Domestic Product: Considering the status of occurrence of the change in
Gross National Product, we will see that it is a potential factor. The Gross National Product
(GNP) is the total taka value of all final goods and services produced for consumption in society
during a particular time period. If Gross Domestic Product increases it means the total taka value
of all final goods and services produced for consumption in society increases and vice versa. It is
a present factor for Beximco Pharma while taking an action in Bangladesh.
05. Change in Unemployment Rate: The unemployment rate represents how many people still
unemployed as a percent of the labor force. The status of occurrence is present. The actions of
Beximco Pharma may not get affected by change in unemployment rate.
Technological Condition: Technological condition is one of the most rapidly changing
environmental factors for any business organizations. Making and continuing a business with
Principles of Management
these factors is very risky. Technology has changed the fundamental way that organizations are
structured and managed. In the technology aspect Beximco Pharma is well equipped and is
usually way ahead of most the pharmaceutical industry players as it continuously invests in its
plant facilities to upgrade its manufacturing processes and make them more effective and
efficient. Therefore competitors advancement in technology usually does not worry Beximco
Pharma. We can further divide the technological factors in few parts based on their type.
Growth in R & D in the Industry: As we know, R & D is the key to success for any
pharmaceutical company. Growth in R & D in the industry is an uncertain factor for Beximco
Pharmaceutical Limited. Almost of the competitors of Beximco Pharmaceutical Limited are
investing a lot of money for R & D purpose in recent times so it has become a vital factor for
Beximco Pharmaceutical Limited as well. (www.beximcopharma.com)
Political /Legal Condition: Political condition includes various federal state and local laws as
well as global laws that an organization must abide by other sectors of the political/ legal sector.
The political environment is really not much of an issue regarding Beximco Pharmaceuticals
business operations. As of now, Bangladesh is being governed by the political government.
Before this government took over the power, Bangladesh saw unprecedented political unrest for
quite some period. These types of political calamities spoil countrys reputation as a whole and
subsequently foreign authorities become reluctant to inspect the pharmaceutical companies. We
can further divide the Political/Legal conditions in few parts based on their type. These are
following:
01) Export/import policies
02) Political unrest
Export/Import policies: Beximco Pharmas export and import policy is strongly affected by
decision making process. The status of occurrence of this matter is low uncertain. Beximco
imports their needed raw materials and exports their medicines and pharmaceutical accessories.
Beximco Pharma is the only Bangladeshi pharmaceutical company to get trusted by foreign
companies. For instance, Beximco Pharma is trusted by Austria, Brazil, and Cambodia etc.
Beximco Pharma imports their medical raw materials from abroad. Especially not only Beximco
Pharma but also other pharmacies import their medicinal Capsule cap from foreign country.
Beximco Pharma earns 55% money by exporting their medicine and medical accessories to the
foreign country. Currently Beximco Pharma is exporting their medicine to 45+ countries.
Beximco Pharma is the only Bangladeshi pharmaceutical company that got authorized by any
Latin American country like Chile, Brazil etc.
Political Unrest: If we consider the status of occurrence of political unrest, than we can see that
its a low potential factor. Political unrest can greatly affect the decision making process of
Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited. Political disturbance has a potential impact on the actions of
an organization. Recently Beximco Pharma may disturbed by many political problems. Their
export and import may shut off due to strike.
Demographical Condition: Demographic conditions encompass trends in population
characteristics such as gender, age, level of education, geographic location, income and family
composition. Managers plan according to the changes in these characteristics.
Principles of Management
Gender: Illness does not depend on gender. Anybody could be affected by many disease and
they have to face with doctor and get instructions to recover from disease. We may know that
this instruction is known as medicine or advice to be get recovered from diseases. So, there is no
question between gender discrimination and every men or women should follow instructions, if
they are affected by any disease. They need it to recover from illness and we all know that
Health is wealth.
Age: Peoples of different ages may take medicines, if they are affected by any disease. In
Bangladesh specially 50+ peoples take medicines caused by Diabetes, Blood Pressure, Asthma,
Typhoid and Diarrhea. People of every age have to take medicine, if they suffer from diseases.
Beximco Pharmas approval: The plant is ISO 9001: 2000 certified. Beximco Pharma have
been audited and approved by:
Principles of Management

Pakistan etc. Beximco Pharma is also an enlisted supplier for UNICEF (United Nations
International Children's Emergency Fund), Save the Children, WHO (World Health
Organization) and ADF (Asthma Drug Facility).
Socio-cultural Conditions: These environments basically include the values, beliefs, traditions,
customs, language and forms of a society. It is very important for any business, because
customers are actually emerged from these sections. As these values, customs and testes change,
managers must also change. Socio-cultural trends may pose a potential construction to manager
decision and actions. For example Beximco Pharma has to make new products as their existing
product demand has fallen or for newly made diseases. Because a customer tastes or preference
has been change a lot. Beximco Pharma also contributes a lot of the social programs needy
groups of society.

Beximco Pharma produces approved and registered medicines for customers. Beximco
Pharma ensures good product for customers. Some product cost of Beximco Pharma is
higher than other company. Because their material cost is little bit high. Likewise per
tablet of Neoceptin R is 2.50 Tk and Newteck per tablet of Square Pharmaceuticals
Limited is 2 Tk.
Salman F. Rahman, the owner of Beximco Pharma has taken some loan from Sonali
Bank Limited. Now he is unable or couldnt pay up that loan. This will affect Beximco
Group of Company and Beximco Pharma belongs to Beximco Group.
Beximco Pharma overly relies on some of their popular product like Napa, Neoceptin R,
Tofen, Azmasol, and Filmet. They dont have that concentration about to improve other
products. They should concentrate on improving their other products. This improvement
may increase Beximco Pharmas reputation.
Beximco Pharma has good and strong reputation. Just because Beximco Pharma is a
pharmaceutical company they have to produce medicine. Beximco Pharma pollutes
environment. Beximco Pharmas production industry is the cause of air pollution, water
pollution, sound pollution and soil pollution. This pollution may decrease Beximco
Pharmas popularity and reputation.
Beximco Pharma is facing many problems when they are selecting employees or labors.
They are trying to select right people for right place. But sometimes they couldnt get
appropriate person for their selected post. Right person for selected post is always a plus
point for any company but inappropriate person for the selected post is unimaginable.
Basically there are a large number of illiterate people in our country. Beximco Pharma
takes them as employee by considering their situation and skill. After taking those
employees Beximco Pharma have to train them for making them perfect for the right
post. They are not ready for the post; Beximco Pharma makes them ready for the post.

accessories to more countries. They can make their business broader.
Square Pharmaceutical Limited has total 5000 million taka capital and Beximco has total
9100 million taka capital. Although Beximco Pharma is third ranked in domestic country
but they have a good chance to be the first ranked pharmaceutical industry in Bangladesh.
They have to try harder to be the first ranked pharmaceutical company.
Beximco Pharma is approved and registered by Austria, Australia, European Union, Gulf
nations, Brazil, France, and Chile and they imports Beximco Pharmacies medicines and
medical accessories. Beximco Pharma can take the advantage by exporting their medicine
to some other country. Currently Beximco Pharma exports their medicine to 45+ country

Beximco Pharma have given top priority and made substantial investment in upgrading
their generic drug capabilities as they firmly believe Research & Development plays the
most important role in spurring innovation and helps company to go up the value chain.

Another opportunity is about concentration. Beximco Pharma has some popular products
like Napa, Neoceptin R, Azmasol, Tofen, Amdocal. They should have concentration on
the other products which are not popular like Napa Extend, Triocim, Dinovo, Lectamil,
Acifin, Procan, Diactin, Informat, Azithrocin etc. This concentration may increase their
market business and success.
