Abstract

A medium-sized Swedish pharmaceutical firm is facing the prospects of massive parallel trade, and loss of revenues, when trade in pharmaceutical products is liberalised within the European Economic Commission. Historically, the company has priced its products according to each country''s local situation leading to great dispersion of price levels across the continent. The management is evaluating four options to deal with a potentially costly parallel trade in one of its most successful products.
