Abstract:
The hostile takeover of Aventis by Sanofi-Synthelabo in May 2004, resulted in the formation of Sanofi-Aventis, the world's third largest pharmaceutical company. Jean Francois Dehecq, former chairman of Sanofi-Synthelabo and the man behind the acquisition has, since then, driven the growth of Sanofi-Aventis by focusing on a multicultural research model and working in small groups rather than committees that he believes are often mired in bureaucracy.
Pedagogical Objectives:
- To highlight the factors leading to the acquisition of Aventis
- To discuss the growth strategies adopted by Dehecq for Sanofi-Aventis amidst numerous challenges being faced by the global pharmaceutical industry.
