merged to form Glaxo Wellcome (Kline, 2014). Glaxo Wellcome was an organization that was formed to do medicine research. Glaxo Wellcome’s goal is: ‘building a learning organization by leveraging our knowledge’ (Chase, 1997). At the time Sue Godfrey was the Executive Development Manager as well as handles the company’s knowledge management infrastructure team. Godfrey was given the responsibility of achieving the company’s goal of constructing a learning organization. By 1997 Glaxo Wellcome had launched something called the Executive Programme, this program aimed to equip about 300 executives with IT products in order to gain some IT skills. One result of the Senior Executive Programme has been the development of the Glaxo Wellcome ExecNet (Godfrey, 1997). ExecNet was a system, supported by the organization’s intranet in order to help its employees identify who’s who and what their activities are. This saved a lot of time for the company because instead of scheduling meetings to appoint tasks and activities, they could use ExecNet to assign these tasks and activities on the system which then would send an email to the employee, letting them know they have received a task on ExecNet. Glaxo Wellcome is rapidly building its knowledge infrastructure (Godfrey, 1999). Besides introducing ExecNet, they even created a dynamic and adaptive program which could respond to certain organizational changes. By early 2000 Godfrey had held a meeting with the entire staff of the organization to celebrate the success they had achieved in the previous years because of ExecNet, the company had increased its sales by a total of 23.14%, their efficiency had increased by 33.79%, and their consumption of resources had decreased by 10.23% (The Economist, 2000). I think that this knowledge management policy was mostly common among other organizations; they had decided to give IT importance to help communicate with the

Every citizen in the United States has individual rights protected by the Constitution. This protection also includes businesses that have gone through the legal process to become a legal entity ; more commonly known as becoming a corporation. Many times these individual rights, protected by the Constitution, conflict with the common good and as history shows, the courts consistently side with the common good when faced with a case that pits these two against each other.

An example would be to build into project plans the time for review and to identify at the outset how information, knowledge and experience will be captured, stored and shared with other individuals and/or areas of the organisation that may have an interest in the experience and knowledge gained as a result of the project. The importance and value of knowledge management has been brought into sharper focus in the current climate of financial constraint and the need to do more with
INTRODUCTION The latter decade of the 20th century brought a number of major innovations to the pharmaceutical industry, most notably a remarkable wave of successful joint ventures and mergers between big and medium players in the market. In this case study we analyzed the Rorer and Rhône-Poulenc (RP) merger in July 31, 1990 that created a major multinational company: the Rhône-Poulenc Rorer, Inc. (RPR), where the RP became the majority shareholder, owning 68 percent of the RPR’s shares.
