923 Words4 Pages

Introduction One of the Japan leading pharmaceuticals companies, Daiichi Sankyo, acquired in November 2008 for over 4 bln USD a controlling stake in Ranbaxy Laboratoires, Indian generics manufacturer. Both companies expected the deal to create significant synergy effect in long term. The benefit was supposed to result from the complementary businesses. The aim was to establish presence in all pharmaceutical areas – through the diversification initiatives – that would bring considerable cost saving for both merger participants. Challenges identified The main question is rather general: what went wrong or what could have been done better? Maybe there is something specific in the Japanese culture that does not allow for successful integration? …show more content…

On the other hand it looks as if Daiichi was focused on the financial aspects of the deal itself (indicators and losses) as well as FDA restrictions, instead of, both, analyzing the Ranbaxy investments – including derivative instruments – and evaluate the potential impact of the FDA enquiry. In addition Ranbaxy had high turnover of the employees, indicating poor HR management or resources practices (e.g. R&D department) – and this point was not addressed in the strategy at all. Even after leaving of CEO, Daiichi didn’t react with immediate action plan to secure the continuity of business with proper set up and transparent communication. Of course cultural differences are main factor in this aspect, still large companies should handle these kinds of challenges and include humane factor in the strategy and its execution. Daiichi should have established dedicated M&A team empowered to make quick decisions in case it is necessary (once any failure or risk is identified), even though it could be against Japanese business culture of long term strategy. The team would perform thorough due diligence, with proper respect to all aspects of the transaction including short term and long term strategy covering human resources with transparent communication and in case of unfavorable, unattractive circumstances to resign from the

    No matter how long they or their families had lived in America, the US turned their back on them in an instant. Because of a suspicion of Japanese spies in the United States, they lost trust in the innocent citizens who happened to be of Japanese descent. Even if they wanted to serve their country, they weren't allowed to if they were Japanese-American. These US citizens were discriminated against by their own country because of their association with the enemy in the Pacific. There was a rational fear that Japanese-Americans would side with their native land over their new home in America.

    Because the Japanese-American people were more concerned with being accepted and blending into the American culture, the Japanese Americans gave up their former lives in order to make those around them more comfortable. Even though the lives of the Japanese Americans had been essentially torn apart, they suffered the shame of not being able to integrate with the other Americans. Although the Japanese Americans were the ones being penalized for looking a certain way, it was the collective group of Japanese Americans that felt the shame of not being able to properly integrate.
