Importance of Understanding the Separation Between Global and Local Pharma Organizations

Pharmaceutical companies, whether small or big, typically consist of two main arms: the centralized R&D function focusing on global product development and the commercial side responsible for local sales and marketing. The significant separation between global and local operations often leads to conflicting interests and misunderstandings, hindering the smooth flow of approved medications to patients through various channels. To address these challenges, individuals working in both global and local organizations need to better comprehend each other's perspectives, establish effective communication channels, and collaborate towards the common goal of ensuring patients have access to necessary medications.
