Pharmaceutical Company Rapid Diagnostics Pty Ltd Marketing Case Study
Question
Rapid Diagnostics Pty Ltd (RD) is a Brisbane-based biotechnology company. It is Australian owned by a group of medical scientists, who established the company in 2009 to commercialize a range of medical diagnostic products for infectious diseases.
Many of the ideas for the Rapid Diagnostics products came from the Biosciences research program at the University of Queensland. A number of products were working prototypes in the Biosciences laboratory. These products included a range of infectious diseases, including meningococcus and MRSA.
During its early start-up phase, the company conducted preliminary market research to identify the greatest opportunity for a rapid diagnostic product using immunochromatographic technology. During the market research study a major outbreak of meningococcal disease occurred at a Brisbane-based high school, infecting a small group of students. Many of the medical customers surveyed felt that a rapid diagnostic assay for meningococcal disease would be beneficial. However, the meningococcal outbreak was quickly under control and the disease rapidly dissipated.
The company wanted to differentiate itself in the market place to ensure it would have an excellent opportunity for early success. Choosing the right product and successfully commercializing it would provide early revenue streams to ensure further product development.
After reviewing the market research data RD decided to develop and commercialize a rapid diagnostic product for meningococcal disease. Market research data showed that current detection for meningococcal disease was difficult using current testing methods. Blood culture was slow taking at least 48 hours to obtain a result, while PCR testing conducted at the Royal Brisbane Hospital took more than 3 hours, sometimes this timeframe being quite critical. By developing a rapid 5 minute assay, this would provide a quick diagnosis of meningococcal thereby offering doctors and medical staff the ability to administer therapy as soon as possible. A rapid diagnostic test could also be used to screen other students who showed some of the symptoms of meningococcal disease. Meningococcal disease occurs worldwide, predominantly during spring but can emerge at any time during the year.
Before making the final decision to proceed with the product development project, the
CEO of RD requested that a brief marketing plan be developed to ensure that the product would achieve success in the marketplace.
Summary
The question belongs to Marketing. It is a case study of a biotech company. The company has been started to produce medical products for infectious diseases. The company now wants to conduct a market research in order to understand and develop a suitable marketing plan to identify the right product to begin with. The right product mix for the company has been devised in the solution.

I was having a difficult time understanding the laws of conservation of mass and energy and use of tie components. With the brilliant tutors at TheReliableTutor I now have a much clearer understanding of the concepts. Their timely and professional tutoring with my chemical engineering assignments has helped me improve my grades and I am very satisfied with the way they provide their services

My main concern was the research that needed to be done for the human resources assignments for my undergraduate program. Keeping up with the course load and assignments from the other professors I was having a tough time. With TheReliableTutor, the tutors help out with the research saving my time and assisting me in submitting well researched and balanced assignments.

I was marveled to find out that HwA offers such specific subject related nursing assignment solution. I always aimed to be a oncology nurse as the subject itself triggered my sense and passion for caring patients in need and when I saw the experts here in HwA dealing with the subject, I felt more inspired. I regularly took help and even now during my DNP I take constant help from the oncology nursing experts.

1. Being a computer science engineer is my dream and it wouldn’t have possible for me to minutely understand the basics of C++ programming without the help of TheReliableTutor.com and the engineering assignment tutors. I grasped C programming on my own, but for C++ and Java, I am definitely grateful to TheReliableTutor

When I saw that the dissertation writers are from Canada itself it was such a big relief. They are aware of the structural requirements and also at the same time got the citations and the referencing exactly as demanded.
