The pricing function is more important than ever. Price controlling agencies, such as governments and payors, are becoming even more stringent on companies to prove products’ value. The high price of pharmaceuticals is an almost daily topic on political talk shows as many leaders have chosen drug pricing as their top initiative. New laws, such as Medicare Part D, are also changing the pricing environment.
 

Cutting Edge Information has developed this study to research pharmaceutical companies’ pricing functions – and what makes them successful.  Pharmaceutical Pricing in the US and Europe: Analysis of Resources, Strategy and Structure examines the inner workings of pharmaceutical pricing functions. From budget allotments and control to departmental and individual project staffing levels, this report details the strategies of some of the industry’s top pricing departments and resources.

This report analyzes the practices of some of the industry’s top pricing departments to provide the steps pricing managers must take to make their functions more integral pieces of the development puzzle.  The report provides pricing leaders the tools to improve their pricing departments by comparing their spending, staffing, structure and strategies to those of top pharmaceutical companies.

The report makes its case with metrics and techniques for managing pricing functions:

• Staffing and Structure – Whole department and per-project staffing along with optimal pricing department reporting structures
• Budgets, Activities and Employee Compensation – Arming departments with the resources to perform key activities that help shape better product development
• Strategy, Communication & Coordination and Vendor Management – Analysis of the current pricing landscape in the US and Europe.  Includes discussion of companies' communication links between different levels of pricing departments with each other and outside contractors
