INTRODUCTION TO PHARMA INDUSTRY

Recruitment & Selection

PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY
The pharmaceutical industry develops, produces, and markets
drugs licensed for use as medications. Pharmaceutical companies are
allowed to deal in generic and/or brand medications and medical
devices. They are subject to a variety of laws and regulations regarding
the patenting, testing and ensuring safety and efficacy and marketing of
drugs.

HISTORY
The earliest drugstores date back to the middle Ages. The first
known drugstore was opened by Arabian pharmacists in Baghdad in
754, and many more soon began operating throughout the medieval
Islamic world and eventually medieval Europe. By the 19th century,
many of the drugstores in Europe and North America had eventually
developed into larger pharmaceutical companies.
Most of today's major pharmaceutical companies were founded
in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Key discoveries of the 1920s
and 1930s, such as insulin and penicillin, became mass-manufactured
and distributed. Switzerland, Germany and Italy had particularly strong
industries, with the UK, US, Belgium and the Netherlands following suit.
Legislation was enacted to test and approve drugs and to require
appropriate labeling. Prescription and non-prescription drugs became
legally distinguished from one another as the pharmaceutical industry
matured. The industry got underway in earnest from the 1950s, due to
the development of systematic scientific approaches, understanding of
human biology

(including

DNA) and

sophisticated manufacturing

techniques.

Numerous new drugs were developed during the 1950s and massproduced and marketed through the 1960s. These included the first oral
contraceptive, "The Pill", Cortisone, blood-pressure drugs and other
heart medications. MAO Inhibitors, chlorpromazine (Thorazine), Haldol
(Haloperidol) and the tranquilizers ushered in the age of psychiatric
medication.

SOCIAL IMPORTANCE OF PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY


The pharmaceutical industry combines synthetic organic
chemical technology and segmentation technology into one of the most
powerful tools that modern science processes for influencing the world
around us, perhaps equally important as the discovery of the potential
of nuclear fission (with its joint promise of never power sources and its
threat of large scale distraction) are the alleviation of disease and the
corresponding extent ion of man's life span.
The advent send availability of the new life saving drugs is just
an example of a topic where engineers should be aware of the complex
social integration which may result from the use of particular chemical
products. It is area where science and technology have a combined
impact on all the people, whether within the country or worldwide. It is
an area where technology and its application should not be learnt
without the knowledge of consequences of its use. We are encountering
such an interaction in various environment areas. Manufacture of plastic
or pesticides without adequate overall consideration may result in air or
stream pollution in a given area with possible consequent damage to
animal, plant and even human life. One of the social consequences of
pharmaceutical manufacturing and use in population growth in India,
The effect of life saving drugs have been major cause of longer life
expectancy and decrease death rate. The corresponding pharmaceutical

industry contribution to decrease birth rates in the form of a


contraceptive chemicals or device has not had an equally dramatic
impact due to the social reluctance to change, in long standing behavior
patterns.
In spite of these interaction obviously, the pharmaceutical
industry will continue to grow as long as it develops new products to
improve health and save.

The

pharmaceutical branch deals with the manufacture, scale distribution,


isolation, identification, action and reaction of drugs with analysis and
development of new drugs and an industry operating with above aim is
called 'pharmaceutical industry'.

INDIAN PHARMA INDUSTRY


The demand for pharmaceutical products in India is significant
and is driven by low drug penetration, rising middle-class & disposable
income, increased government & private spending on healthcare
infrastructure, increasing medical insurance penetration etc.
The Indian pharmaceutical industry is growing at about 8 to 9
percent annually according to A Brief Report Pharmaceutical Industry in
India, published in January 2011. The Pharmaceutical industry in India
meets around 70% of the country's demand for bulk drugs, drug
intermediates,

pharmaceutical

formulations,

chemicals,

tablets,

capsules, orals and injectables. There are approximately 250 large units
and about 8000 Small Scale Units, which form the core of the
pharmaceutical industry in India (including 5 Central Public Sector
Units).

CURRENT SCENARIO

Page 5

Recruitment & Selection

India's pharmaceutical market grew at 15.7 per cent during


December 2011. Globally, India ranks third in terms of manufacturing
pharma products by volume. According to McKinsey, the Pharmaceutical
Market is ranked 14th in the world. By 2015 it is expected to reach top
10 in the world beating Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and Turkey. More
importantly, the incremental market growth of US$ 14billion over the
next decade is likely to be the third largest among all markets. The US
and China are expected to add US$ 200bn and US$ 23bn respectively.
McKinsey & Companys report, India Pharma 2020: Propelling
access and acceptance, realizing true potential, predicted that the
Indian pharmaceuticals market will grow to US$55 billion in 2020; and if
aggressive growth strategies are implemented, it has further potential
to reach US$70 billion by 2020. While, Market Research firm Cygnus
report forecasts that the Indian bulk drug industry will expand at an
annual growth rate of 21 percent to reach $16.91 billion by 2014. The
report also noted that India ranks third in terms of volume among the
top 15 drug manufacturing countries.
Further, McKinsey reports Healthcare grew from 4 per cent of
average household income in 1995 to 7 per cent in 2005 and is
expected to grow to 13 per cent by 2025.

DIAGNOSTICS OUTSOURCING / CLINICAL TRIALS


According to the estimates, the Indian diagnostics and labs test
services, in view of its growth potential, is expected to reach Rs159.89
billion by FY2013. The Indian market for both therapeutic and diagnostic
antibodies is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years.
Further, more than 60% of the total antibodies market is currently
dominated by diagnostic antibodies.

Page 6

Recruitment & Selection

Some of the major Indian pharmaceutical firms, including Sun


Pharma, Cadila Healthcare and Piramal Life Sciences, had applied for
conducting clinical trials on at least 12 new drugs in 2010, indicating a
growing interest in new drug discovery research.

GENERICS
India tops the world in exporting generic medicines worth US$
11 billion. The Indian generic drug market is to grow at a CAGR of
around 17 per cent between 2010-11 and 2012-13.
Over the next few years, it is expected that the patent laws will
provide impetus to the launch of patent-protected products. Such
products have the potential to capture up to a 10% share of the market
by 2015, implying the market size of US $2bn.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT


According to Battelle R&D magazine, gross expenditure on R&D
(GERD) by India for 2012 was projected to be US$ 41 billion in
purchasing power parity terms, which works out to 0.8 per cent of GDP.
This is low both in absolute terms and as a proportion of GDP compared
to other countries. This is partly because the size of the R&D base and
absorption capacity is not commensurate with requirements.
As per estimates in 2010-11, largest R&D expenditures attracted
from pharmaceutical sector. R&D intensity for the pharmaceuticals
sector was much higher than that for other sectors. Although there have
been substantial increases in growth rates of patents filed in India
during the last decade, the share of patents filed for work in India
through indigenous research is less than 20 per cent of the total. A

White Paper on R&D prepared by consultancy firm Deloitte in July 2011


estimates that more than 300 MNCs have set up R&D centers in India.

DEMAND
The demand for pharmaceutical products in India is significant
and is driven by many factors like low drug penetration, rising middleclass & disposable income, increased government & private spending on
healthcare infrastructure, increasing medical insurance penetration,
changing demographic pattern and rise in chronic lifestyle-related
diseases;

adoption

of

patents,

and

penetration driven by the relatively smaller companies.

MAJOR PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES


India based pharmaceutical companies are not only catering to
the domestic market and fulfilling the countrys demands, they are also
exporting to around 220 countries. They are exporting high quality, low
cost drugs to countries such as the US, Kenya, Malaysia, Nigeria, Russia,
Singapore, South Africa, Ukraine, Vietnam, and more. Currently, the US
is the biggest customer and accounts for 22 percent of the sectors
exports, while Africa accounts for 16 percent and the Commonwealth of
Independent States (CIS) places around eight percent of orders, as per
Research and Market report.
For most of the pharma companies, domestic business
contributes in the range of 20-50% of the overall revenue. US business
contribution stands at 20-30% and remaining comes from the own
markets.

K) FUTURE GROWTH AND PROSPECTS

The companys strategy has been to continuously grow itself in


contract manufacturing and nothing else. Kemwell never looked at
putting its own brands in the market and competing with its customers.
It is best to be a pure play player in contract manufacturing. And that is
the reason why company was getting so many orders.
As the contract manufacturing market is maturing, CMOs
worldwide are becoming more competitive, striving to make a global
presence, and providing expert one-stop shops. To sustain in this
intensely competitive market place, Kemwell have maintained itself as a
pure play partner with high-level niche capabilities and options for
collaborations and alliances.
Kemwell will continue its commitment to pure-play contract
manufacturing, and build on its extensive experience in manufacturing.
The company sees high opportunities for supplying monoclonal
antibodies in future. It is committed to provide these services in a timely
and cost-effective manner.
The global contract development and manufacturing market in
the formulation space is around US $35 billion and of this, only less than
one per cent is outsourced to India. However, the growth of outsourcing
to India is much faster (12 15 per cent) than the growth of the overall
industry (6 8 per cent). Kemwell is poised to grow at a CAGR of 20 25
per cent over the next five years. Most of its growth will come from
servicing customers in the U.S., Europe and India. For its biologics and
pharmaceutical business, it plans to target small and medium
pharmaceutical companies in Europe and the U.S. The company has
commenced aggressive marketing and business development efforts in

Page 27

all three geographic areas with a larger team and more marketing
through print advertisements and participation in various exhibitions. It
is also evaluating various acquisition opportunities in both India and in
the overseas market to add to its services in both pharmaceutical
development and commercial manufacturing, which will be funded
internally with some component of debt.

CHAPTER - 3
MCKENSEYS 7S MODEL

The 7-S model is better known as McKinsey 7-S. This is because the two persons
who developed this model were Tom peters and Robert Waterman, have been consultants
at McKinsey and company at that time. They published their 7-S model in their article
Structure Is Not Organization (1980) and in the books The Art of Japanese
Management (1981) and In Search of Excellence (1982). Those seven elements are
distinguished in so called hard Ss and Soft Ss. The hard elements (green circles) are

Page 29

Recruitment & Selection

feasible and easy to identify. They can be found in strategy, statements, corporate plans,
organizational charts and other documents.
The four Soft Ss however are hardly feasible. They are difficult to describe since
capabilities, values and elements of corporate culture are continuously developing and
changing. They are highly determined by the people at work in organization. Therefore it
is much more difficult to plan or influence the characteristics of soft elements. Although
the Soft factors are below the surface, they can have great Impact of the hard structures,
strategies and system of the organization.
The 7-S m framework of McKinsey is a Value Based Management (VBM) model
that describes how one can holistically and effectively organize a company. Together these
factors determine the way in which a corporate operates

STRATEGY
Strategy is the plan of action an organization prepares in response to, or
anticipation of, changes in its external environment. Strategy is differentiated by tactics or
operational actions by its nature of being premeditated, well thought through and often
practically rehearsed.

operates and performs. Traditionally, the business have been structured in a hierarchical
way with several divisions and developments, each responsible for a specific task such as
human resource management, production and marketing.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION
THEORETICAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Recruitment and selection is one of the most important
management functions. The whole process represents a significant
investment in both financial and other resources. Recruitment and
selection are two of the most important functions of personnel
management. Recruitment procedure selection and helps in selecting a
right candidate.
Recruitment means to estimate the available vacancies and to
make suitable arrangements for their selection and appointment.
Recruitment is understood as the process of searching for and obtaining
applicants for jobs, from among whom the right people can be selected.
A formal definition states It is the process of finding and attracting
capable applicants for the employment. The process begins when new
recruits are sought and when their applicants are submitted. The result
is the pool of applicants from which new employees are selected. In
this, the available vacancies are giving wide publicity and suitable
candidates are encouraged to submit applications so as to have a pool
of eligible candidates for scientific selection.
In recruitment, information is collected from interested
candidates. For this different source such as newspaper advertisement,
employment exchanges, internal promotion, etc. are used. In the
recruitment, a pool of eligible and interested candidates is created for
selection of most suitable candidates. Recruitment represents the first
contact that a company makes with potential employees.

Page 42

Recruitment & Selection

According to EDWIN FLIPPO, recruitment is the process of


searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for
jobs in the organization.
A selection means picking up an individual who perfectly
matches the job requirement. Recruitment starts with searching
perspective candidates while selection starts with the process of
selecting the right candidate from the application resulted after
recruitment. Recruitment ends with the collection of applications from
potential applications resulted after recruitment. Recruitment ends with
the collection of applications from potential applicants while selection
ends with the selection of right candidates from the pool of application.
Recruitment is a positive process because it results in the pool of
applications while selection is called the negative process because it
eliminates all the other candidates that are left the selection of right
candidate.
Recruitment and selection processes are important in an
organization for selecting the right candidates for a job and thus
contributing to growth of organization. In organization recruitment and
selection in mainly the task of Human Resource department. People
confuses with the words recruitment and selection because both words
are used in context of inviting and selecting new candidates for
vacancies in organization to deal with responsibility of that particular
job. But the meanings of these words are very much different from each
other.
Recruitment and selection are two of the most important
functions of personnel management. Recruitment precedes selection
and helps in selecting a right candidate. Recruitment is am process to
discover the sources of manpower to meet the recruitment of the

Page 43

Recruitment & Selection

staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting the


manpower in adequate number to facilitate effective selection of
efficient personnel. Recruitment refers to the process of screening, and
selecting qualified people for a job at an organization or firm, or for a
vacancy in a volunteer-based organization or community group. While
generalist managers or administrators can undertake some components
of the recruitment process, mid and large size organizations and
companies often retain professional recruiters or outsource some of the
process to recruitment agencies. External recruitment is the process of
attending and selecting employees from outside the organization.
Staffing in one basic function of management. All managers have
responsibility of staffing function by selecting the chief executive and
even the foremen and supervisors have a staffing responsibility when
they select the rank and file workers. However, the personnel manager
and his personnel department are mainly concerned with the staffing
function. Every organization needs to look after recruitment and
selection in the initial period and thereafter as and when additional
manpower is required due to expansion and development of business
activities.
Right person for the job is the basic principle in recruitment and
selection. Ever organization should give attention to the selection of its
manpower, especially its managers. The operative is equally important
and essential for the orderly working of an enterprise. Every business
organization/unit needs manpower for carrying different business
activities smoothly and efficiently and for this recruitment and selection
of suitable candidates is essential. Human resource management in an
organization will not be possible if unsuitable persons are selected and
employment in a business unit.

CHARACTERISTICS OF RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION


For Recruitment, the attraction of qualified candidates with the
broadest methods available is the primary characteristic. Second to this
is not attracting unqualified, over-qualified or marginal candidates. Good
recruitment will get the greatest number of possible individuals with the
fewest

number

that

will

need

to

bescreenedout.

Good Selection is at least a two step process. The first is removing


those candidates which are not suitable for either the task or the
institution environment. The next is ordering those which are suitable by
approximate rank with the best being highest on the list. This selection
process is often combined with personal interviews and background
checks. The selection should be timely.

2. Ensure thats the selected candidate stays longer with the company.
3. Make sure that there is match between cost and benefit.
4. Helps the organization to create more culturally diverse workforce
Whereas, the poor quality of selection means extra cost on
training and supervision. Further ion more, when recruitment fails to
meet organizational needs for talent, a typically response is to raise
entry level pay scales. This can distort traditional wages and salary
relationship in organization, resulting in unavoidable consequences.
Thus the effectiveness of the recruitment process can play a major role
in determining the resources that must be expended on other HR
activates and their ultimate success.

of past management or the qualification of today's management but
tomorrow's management can be as good as today's manager care to
make it".

relationship with the labor market, recruitment and selection (R&S) is


often either wholly absent as a topic or is regarded as being of relatively
marginal importance. The supply of skills has generally been seen as
central, with the process of its absorption into employment within
organizations viewed as a relatively unproblematic, minor issue. The
silence of policy debates on the topic is mirrored by the world of
research.
In the main, however, the focus of this work has generally
been quite

narrow and has often failed to locate the use of

qualifications as part of the R&S process within any wider framework


that might link this aspect of R&S with wider issues concerning why and
how employers have specified their skill acquisition
Needs in the way they have, and how these choices then impact on and
inter-relate with the deployment of R&S techniques and sources of labor.
They also often fail to pay much regard to how qualification usage
relates to employers conceptualizations of the skills that they are trying
to hire. Moreover, the bulk of both these strands of research are based
on survey data that offers a description of a particular pattern of
employer behavior, but can provide only limited explanation for why it
occurs as it does.

to recruitment than it is to other HR functions, because both recruitment
