Pakistan İlaç Endüstrisinde Karar Verme veya Satın Alma Kriterleri;Albert İlaç Endüstrisi Vaka Çalışması

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Pakistan İlaç endüstrilerinin satın alma kararını nasıl aldığını incelemektir. “Yap ya da satın al” kararı, bir organizasyonda önemli bir seçimdir. Bu karar, kuruluştaki maliyetleri, yetkinlikleri ve yeteneği etkileyebilir. Veriler, Pakistan'daki Albert imalat şirketinin uzmanlarından toplanmıştır. Anket, Albert İlaç endüstrisinin karar verici insanlarından 7 katılımcıya dağıtılmıştır. Cevapta, ilaç olan Çekirdek kısmın yapıldığı söylendi. Albert Pharmaceutical Industry, ilaçların üretimi ve test edilmesiyle ilgili tüm belgelerin Pakistan İlaç Düzenleme Kurumu'na (DRAP) sunulması bir hükümet gerekliliği olduğundan, çoğunlukla temel faaliyetler için Yapım Kriterleri'ni takip eder. Bunlar hayat kurtaran ilaçlar olduğu için hükümetin tüm ihtiyati tedbirleri alması gerekiyor. Bu çalışmada, ilaç endüstrisi için kriter oluşturmanın faydalı olup olmadığını kontrol ediyoruz, Kaynak Bazlı Görünüm, maliyet azaltma, Çevre Belirsizliği ve Finansal faydaların Karar Kriterleri ile ilişkisini görüyoruz. Çalışmamızın sonuçları, Kaynak Bazlı Görünüm, maliyet azaltma ve finansal faydaların Karar Verme Kriterleri ile oldukça önemli bir ilişkisi olduğunu göstermektedir. Çevresel belirsizliğin ise karar verme kriterleri ile herhangi bir ilişkisi yoktur. Regresyon analizini de en çok hangi faktörün etkilediğini görmek için uyguluyoruz Kriterler analiz sonucu Kaynak Tabanlı Görünüm olduğunu gösteriyor. Ayrıca katılımcı, insan kaynakları, organizasyonel kaynaklar ve finansal kaynaklar ile birlikte gerekli kaynak ve makinelerin çoğuna sahip oldukları için imalatı tercih ettiklerini belirtmektedir.
