Pharmaceutical Industry Consolidation: A Historical Timeline that Traces Big Pharma's M &A Activity
The old baseball adage which says that “you can’t tell the players apart without a program” is particularly apt when it comes to tracing the M &A activity that led to the creation of some today's largest pharmaceutical companies.
I used to be able to keep track of all of the moving parts of most of these mergers but advancing age and unprecedented M&A activity in the pharma industry prevents me from successfully doing this any longer. To that end, about a week ago, the New York Times published a pretty cool and informative chart that historically traces the corporate mergers that lead to creation of Pfizer, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi-Aventis and others.
Check it out!!!!!
Until next time...
Good Luck and Good Job Hunting!!!!!!!!!
