Business Model Business model consists of what a business does, and how it makes
money doing those things. It is the method of doing business by which a company can sustain itself and is clear about how a company generates revenues and identifies where it is positioned in the value chain. Business models are dynamic and develop in response to changing industry conditions. The firm is therefore not immune to external environment and has to adjust its strategies appropriately to sustain its revenue.

Analysing Ciplas Business Model


Over the years, Cipla has improved from a sales turnover of

Rs. 1.5 crores in 1972 to Rs. 3213 in 2012 and recorded this steady increase. There are certain internal competitive advantages(what a firm does best and better than others),and is a major sub component of any firm in Business Model Institute definition. A firm can attain two basic types of competitive advantage: -low cost or -differentiation These combined with the target audience of a firm, lead to three generic competitive approaches cost leadership, differentiation and focus. Focus can be either cost focus or differentiation focus.

Low cost
Ciplas model entails the reverse engineering of new processes for the

mass production of high quality drugs at low cost due to the absence of product patents. It costs about $1.2billion to bring new pharmaceutical products to the market (GSK 2007). Cipla simply reverse engineered the process. As a result Cipla had a low cost business model. Cipla also enjoys relative cheap labour and high skilled manpower in India. Therefore, it can produce drugs much cheaper than those produced by the patent owners. A notable example of is the Cipla brand of anti-retroviral combination which was sold in year 2000, for $800 per patient per annum. On the other hand, big brand names sold the same combination for about $12,000 per patient per annum. Cipla further reduced the price to about $300 per patient per annum and subsequently around $140(Greene 2007). The low cost model is therefore enabled because Cipla need not invest in R & D and testing of these drugs.

Business scopeExpanding to other countries


Over the last three years, Cipla has forayed into developed markets of

US and Europe using specifically developed generic drugs and marketing them through tie-ups with generic MNC majors such as Andrx. In year 2005, Cipla's R&D was primarily aimed at developing new processes and generic drugs and hence remained at about 4% of sales. Ciplas drugs are sold in over 100 countries, it has not made any overseas acquisitions. Exports which were negligible a few decades ago are now in excess of almost 50% of turnover.

Why is there a need for Change?


World Trade Organization (WTO) Regulations

-The 2005 enactment of the Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement signed by India, led to the reinstatement of the patent law for the first time since 1972. -As a result, the reverse engineering which underpinned the Indian industry expansion is now illegal. -This has led to the need for Indian generic companies to change their business models. -Cipla and other Indian generics are being forced to adapt its business model because of the recent changes in its environment.

Patents expiring

Contd.

-Until the mid-1990s when India signed the WTO agreement, many leading Indian pharmaceutical companies relied on the domestic market alone. -Since 2002, lot of patents were lost. As a result, Indian generics are taking advantage of the global generics market and expanding to developed countries. -Cipla is well positioned as it has a competitive edge of low cost manufacturing and advance chemistry capabilities.
Return of Multinational pharma companies to India

-Many of the foreign MNCs that fled India as a result of the former conditions are now returning to India to become full-fledged research based multinationals.

How will Ciplas Business Model Change?


There are three strategies open to Indian firms as they make steps to respond to institutional and market changes and maintain their market share: 1. Exit strategy: Exit the market by divesting the business. 2. Defensive strategy: targeted at the defence, protection and consolidation of the firms position in the domestic market in the same product market domains. 3. A bold, assertive and aggressive strategy of leveraging the current stock of capabilities and dynamically building new capabilities to expand geographically through internationalization. Cipla is presently carrying out a defensive strategy by expanding domestic sales and also expanding to other countries through its partnerships.

Contd.
More strategic partnerships
The industry is changing its model from its reverse engineering

model to a consolidation model where companies can pool resources together with other domestic and foreign firms. Cipla has formed Ciplagenpharm with an Australian company after entering into agreement in 1997. Cipla also went into a research alliance with Avesthagen, a Bangalore-based biotech company to develop bio therapeutic products. Cipla tied up with Morton Grove Teva/Ivax, AkomWatson, and Sandoz /Eon for the US market. In the UK with NeoLabs,and with Medpro in South Africa.

Contd
More R & D spending

Cipla is rising up the value chain from being a pure reverse

engineering firm focused on the domestic market and it is moving towards basic research driven, export oriented global presence, and enlarging its market reach. Ciplas R & D now includes development of new drug formulations, patenting of newer processes and products of the domestic and international markets and development of new products specifically for exports. More Exports Cipla was engaged mostly in sales to its domestic market and recently this has changed, as Cipla is reducing its overdependence on the domestic business by generating strong consistent growth in export markets. Cipla has also begun to export its products to developed countries.

The Pharmaceutical industry in India


World's 3rd-largest in terms of volume and stands

14th in terms of value. A large number of patent expirations continue to offer strong growth prospects for generic players in the developed markets .

Steps to strengthen the industry


Indian companies need to attain the right

product-mix for sustained future growth. Core competencies will play an important role in determining the future of many Indian pharmaceutical companies in the post product-patent regime after 2005. Indian companies, in an effort to consolidate their position, will have to increasingly look at merger and acquisition options of either companies or products.

Contd
This would help them to offset loss of new

product options, improve their R&D efforts and improve distribution to penetrate markets. Research and development has always taken the back seat amongst Indian pharmaceutical companies. In order to stay competitive in the future, Indian companies will have to refocus and invest heavily in R&D.

Contd
The Indian pharmaceutical industry also

needs to take advantage of the recent advances in biotechnology and information technology. The future of the industry will be determined by how well it markets its products to several regions and distributes risks, its forward and backward integration capabilities, its R&D, its consolidation through mergers and acquisitions, co-marketing and licensing agreements.

Growth
Patent expires are expected to peak out in 2012,

expecting that growth momentum would sustain as most of Indian companies have a fairly well spread out product pipeline till 2014 The quality of the filings by major Indian companies has also significantly improved over the years with complex molecules, non-orals. Global pharmaceutical markets are in the midst of major discontinuities. While growth in developed markets will slow down, emerging markets will become increasingly important in the coming decade.

Contd
The Indian drug exports grew at 17 per cent per

annum during 2008-2012 Expect drug exports to touch USD 17-18 billion by March 2015. The growth in exports was driven by a sharp rise in the market for generic products in both the developed and developing countries. The Indian pharma companies with their price competitiveness and expertise in reverse engineering skills exploited the generic opportunity.

Contd
Generic drugs will continue to dominate the Indian

drug export growth story. This is because developed countries are switching to generic mode to rein in their health care cost. Till date only 20-22 per cent of the Japanese market is on generic mode. Hence, there is enough scope for Indian pharma companies to exploit the market Many developing countries like Latin America and Africa are increasing their exposure to generic drugs due to ageing population, rising income levels, increasing lifestyle diseases and low penetration of modern medicines

MSLs coordinate the flow of clinical information and manage important key opinion leader (KOL) relationships, which can be critical to a product's success at any stage of its life cycle. Pay-for-Delay - In a "pay-for-delay" agreement between a brand-name drug manufacturer and a potential generic competitor, a patent holder (the brand-name manufacturer) agrees to pay a large sum of money to an accused infringer (its would-be competitor), and the competitor agrees that it will no longer challenge the patent and will not enter the market for a specified period of time.

Reverse Payment - In a "reverse payment" agreement between

a brand-name drug manufacturer and a potential generic competitor, a patent holder (the brand-name manufacturer) agrees to pay a large sum of money to an accused infringer (its would-be competitor), and the competitor agrees that it will no longer challenge the patent and will not enter the market for a specified period of time. Sampling - Sampling (ie, Drug Sampling) is the process by which pharmaceutical companies distribute free drugs (Drug Samples) to physicians. According to the Prescription Drug Marketing Act of 1987, the term "drug sample" means a unit of a drug, which is not intended to be sold and is intended to promote the sale of the drug. According to this act, the manufacturer or distributor of a drug subject may distribute drug samples by mail or common carrier to practitioners licensed to prescribe such drugs or, at the request of a licensed practitioner, to pharmacies of hospitals or other health care entities. The recipient of the drug sample must execute a written receipt for the drug sample upon its delivery and the return of the receipt to the manufacturer or distributor

Performance Parameters
The Pharmaceutical industry has been focusing

most of its resources on the next blockbuster drug. With changes in regulations, declines in drug approvals, and a shift toward developing high value biologics, todays manufacturers must begin to refocus and to address current processes, practices and systems, and take a hard line on improving their overall quality and compliance efforts. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) help Pharma corporations highlight successes and identify program areas for continuous improvement, helping provide a picture of its pharmaceutical benefit

Financial Parameters
Overall Drug Trend - Identifies drug trends over

time. Aids in formulary reconstitution and management. Drug Utilization - Provides an insight into the efficiency of drug use (i.e. whether a certain drug therapy provides value for money). Evaluates performance compared to geographically relevant benchmarks Generic Dispensing Rate - Monitors changes in utilization of generic drugs and the associated savings. Offers multiple drill-downs by geography, therapeutic class, or age/gender to uncover potential cartel formation, unethical dispensing trends, disease patterns and

Contd
Generic Substitution Rate - Tracks the

percentage of all multisource drugs that were dispensed as generics. The overall level of generic drug utilization is determined both by the frequency of generic substitution at the pharmacy counter and by physician prescribing patterns. Enables pharmacy benefit managers to spot undesired trends in drug utilization. Channel Tracker - Aids in understanding the channel conversion from retail pharmacy to mail order, as well as the associated savings resulting from this conversion

Medical Parameters
Therapeutic Efficacy/Success Rate - Enables

PBMs to understand the effectiveness of a drug (therapeutic class wise) by analyzing the Medical Claims with the Pharmacy claims. Specialty Drug Utilization - Provides a complete picture of the total utilization of injectable, infusible and oral drugs. Tracks the HCPCS codes with regard to each therapeutic class, enabling assessment of specialty drug spending on the medical benefit side.

Operational Parameters
Prescription Turn-around Time - Measures the

average time between prescription generation and drug delivery, enabling pharmacy managers to track customer experience and identify potential pharmacy load issues across regions. Medication Possession Ratio - Identifies prescription adherence patterns across member segments, plans and therapeutic classes. This attribute can be used to adopt relevant intervention programs. Seasonal Therapeutic Tracker - Tracks the impact of seasonal factors on drug utilization, which helps PBMs devise suitable strategies and member intervention programs.

Dynamics (Basis of competition)


Strong intellectual property protection is essential to a vital

innovative pharmaceutical industry. The strength of intellectual property rights protection profoundly impacts investment decisions. This investment is essential to enable further pharmaceutical innovation, as it now supports the extraordinary progress from which this and future generations all benefit. The incentives for innovation that are secured by intellectual property rights are also essential to promote competition, both among research-based companies and between research-based and generic companies. This investment supports the constant efforts of research-based companies to develop innovative products to compete with the products of other research-based companies in a given therapeutic class. This investment also promotes competition between research-based companies and generic companies. And this is a crucial point to understand. Simply stated, generic companies are in the business of copying products developed by research based companies. To the extent investment does not occur to fund the development of these innovations, research-based companies and generics alike will have fewer new products, and less competition will occur.

Robust patent rights for initial and sequential

product development are needed to promote innovation and related competition. It comes as it will, sometimes quite serendipitously

Contd
The key to the pharmaceutical industrys

innovation is its ever-growing investment in research and development. On average, economists estimate that it takes 1015 years to develop a new drug. Most drugs do not survive the rigorous development process only 20 in 5,000 compounds that are screened enter preclinical testing, and only 1 drug in 5 that enters human clinical trials is approved by the FDA as being both safe and effective.

Contd
Rapid recent growth of the generic drug industry

is not the only source of increased competition in the pharmaceutical market. The competition among research-based pharmaceutical companies continues to increase. For example, Tagamet, an ulcer drug introduced in 1977, had 6 years on the market before another drug in the same class, Zantac, was introduced. In contrast, Invirase, the first of a new class of anti-viral drugs known as protease inhibitors, was on the market only 3 months before a second protease inhibitor, Norvir, was approved. Patients and the American health care system benefit from this robust innovator competition.

Contd
Sequential innovation leading to improved

product improvements, however, is an important element of competition in the pharmaceutical industry, and patent protection is an essential precondition for that innovation

Contd
The pharmaceutical industry is characterized by

significant first-mover advantages. At the same time, breakthrough drugs generally face competition within their initial patent life from other branded drugs of the same therapeutic class. Further, with eventual generic competition a certainty under the Hatch-Waxman Act, branded manufacturers try to develop improved products to retain sales.
