Scenario:
You are the marketing manager for a generic products division of a major pharmaceutical manufacturer. Your division uses the corporation’s excess manufacturing capacity to produce generic prescription drugs – drugs whose patents have expired and can thus be manufactured by any company that wishes
to produce them.
Your division is a low-cost defender that maintains its position in the generic drug market by holding down its costs and selling generic products to distributors and pharmacies at very low prices.
