The application of marketing theories such as segmentation, promotional mix, consumer behavior, pricing, and channels of distribution to pharmaceutical industry has brought out whole range of new meanings to the marketing theories. The unique conditions and constraints found in pharmaceutical industry such as high cost for R&D, insufficient support or incentives from Government, low profit margins compared to R & D expenditure, and rapid product obsolescence means that marketing models need adaptation, resulting in the development of new theory.”
Dr. Nayak congratulated the authors, editors and publisher for their commendable work.?
