Challenges and Stategies of Globalization in Emerging Economies: A Case Study of Pfizer

Globalization presents both opportunities and challenges for the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in emerging economies. This study examines Pfizer's strategies for navigating these complexities, focusing on key areas such as digital innovation, patent management, market competition, regulatory compliance, cultural adaptation, and economic volatility. Facing increasing fragmentation and regionalization in global trade, Pfizer leverages digital tools aligned with Pharma 4.0 principles to enhance manufacturing efficiency, supply chain management, and drug development processes.
