Questions for Discussion:

  1. List the benefits of such a collaboration?
  2. What are the possible motives for pharmaceutical companies to collaborate given that traditionally these firms have worked alone?
  3. What would happen in the event that a new drug is found? Can it mean that these companies can charge a premium for the drug as there is no competition?
