1. Executive Summary

Bangladesh is a developing country in south Asia. Its economy be contingent mostly on


agriculture. In the earliest period jute and tea industry were very hovering industry. But the scenario is
changed. Now our economy frequently depends on Ready Made Garments industry. Apart from
garments industry pharmaceuticals industry is a raising industry in Bangladesh. So, the scenario is
changing. Now there are 225 registered pharmaceutical companies in our country. Most of them are
local, but there are also some multinational and joint venture companies operating their business in our
country. They are also contributing to earn foreign exchange in our country. Renata Pharmaceutical
Limited is one of the most leading pharmaceuticals companies in Bangladesh. Its corporate
headquarters is at plot no- 1, milk vita road, sec- 7, Mirpur and it has two production sites (one is at
Mirpur and another is at Rajendrapur). Modern sophisticated machineries and highly qualified and
skilled professionals are the main instrument for this Renata’s success. In this report we have gone
through the overall HR policies and practices of Renata Limited. Renata’s HR functions like
Recruitment & Selection, Training & Development, Compensation & Benefit and Employee Relation
are very systematic and legal. Renata always tries to recruit efficient candidates for the vacant position.
They provide management development training, overseas training, and Field forces training and
development program, manager training, training program for distribution assignments and data entry
operations, on the job training and off the job training, basic training and advanced training etc. Renata
concentrates on employee development as well. They provide appropriate compensation and benefits
like basic salary, over time, gratuity, different types of bonus etc. I have found that Renata’s HR
policies and practices are systemic and sound enough but yet there are some problems like (few
misunderstandings, lack of appropriate training to reduce faults). Remove misunderstanding and
provide training and appropriate compensation when any accident occurs, authority should cooperate
their employees to the problems. I think that is the way they should follow to improve and expand its
business.

2.1 History or Background of Renata:

Renata Pharmaceutical Limited. this company belongs to the Pharmaceuticals Industry.


Currently the industry is very much profitable and there is a very high probability that the industry will
remain profitable in the future as well. Picture of future profitability of this industry can easily found in
the company’s financial statements.

The pharmaceutical business registered a growth of 25.2 percent and Renata’s market rank improved
from 7th to 6th. In the Animal Health business Renata retained its no. 1 position. It is noteworthy that
animal health products were exported for the first time in the history of the Company. The international
business in animal health products began with exports to Jordan and the Company hopes to add
Vietnam to this list in 2009. In the Contract Manufacturing business segment, Renata produced
Prednisolone tablets on behalf of a company in the UK. Renata is also very bullish about the Sprinkles
business. Both UNICEF and SMC have strengthened their marketing operations for this product.
Moreover, the Sprinkles product is being heavily promoted by donor agencies all over the world, and
Renata is regarded as being regarded as one of the few companies in the world with the capability of
manufacturing pharmaceutical grade Sprinkles. Now, concluded that provided the exchange rate
remains stable, the year 2009 is expected to be good for Renata as its pharmaceutical and contract
manufacturing are poised to register significant growth.

It is informed that in the year 2007 Pharma industry witnessed a disinformation campaign about high
drug prices and poor quality of medicines which forced the industry to shift its focus from exploring
and building for long-term growth to merely fighting for survival. Not since 1982 had the industry
witnessed such a crisis of confidence.

In 2007, Renata’s combined turnover and net profit grew by 31.5% and 38.7%, respectively. Earnings
per Share (EPS) stood at Tk.348.5 compared to Tk.251.2 in the year 2006. Renata also contributed Tk.
524 million to the national exchequer in the form of Corporate Taxes, Value Added Tax and Import
Duties. The retained earnings of the company stand at a healthy Tk.911.3 million against zero long-
term debt.

It informed that Renata’s Potent Product Facility was accredited by the Medicines and Healthcare
products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) of the UK, the first potent facility in Bangladesh to receive such
recognition.

2.1.1 Establishment year:

Renata has five manufacturing facilities on two separate sites. The original 12-acre site is
located in Mirpur, Dhaka, while the new 17-acre site located in Rajendrapur, Gazipur began operations.

2.1.2 Listing Year:

Founded in 1972 as a subsidiary of Pfizer Inc. Ownership transferred from Pfizer Inc. to local
institutions and the general public in 1993. Company name subsequently changed from Pfizer
Laboratories (Bangladesh) Limited to Renata Limited.

Its vision: To establish Renata permanently among the best of innovative branded generic companies.

2.1.3 Marketing Strategy:

Marketing strategy for selected buyers or existing buyers:

Marketing strategy for selected buyer or existing buyer to communicate them time to time and try to
fulfill all requirements for each order and keeping the long term relationship.

2.2 Marketing strategy for potential buyer:

At first, communicate with the potential / new buyer by issued Business development letter
including complete profile of the factory. By this letter Renata Ltd. offer to buyer for factory
evaluation. After that it requested buyers to visit their factory on their suitable time. If buyer satisfied
by seeing the factory, then there is a chance to get order from buyer.

Just-in-time inventory and efficiency increases, if the raw materials or components can be supplied in
production very close to the time when they are actually needed in the production process.

Self-managed work teams and efficiency – these teams provide a flexible workforce and reduce the
need for supervision.

Process reengineering and efficiency – radical redesign of business processes can improve
performance.

Information systems, the internet, and efficiency, the internet can significantly reduce a company’s
ordering and customer service functions.

The key guidelines to the assignment planning, analysis which have been clearly articulated in the
paper and made my concept sharpen are-

Develop a strategy that leads to a sustainable competitive advantage.

Sharpen the ability of the firm to identify promising investment opportunities.

Arrange required raw materials as per requirements of their valued buyers and provide samples on
specific queries in a very quicker way.

During July-November of 2020, hospitals were overwhelmed by Covid-19 patients. Treatments for
other diseases were postponed, and doctor chambers remained closed. As such, pharmaceutical sales
were dominated by hospital products related to Covid-19, while the growth of retail products slowed
down precipitously.

As the Pandemic took hold in March 2020, the number of prescriptions seen during formal surveys fell
sharply and remained below 2019 levels throughout the year. However, as vaccines became available
to health professionals from the beginning of 2021, doctors reopened their chambers and the
prescription flow recovered.

While the Pandemic affected our normal business, we maintained our focus on long-term strategies. As
a country graduates to middle-income status, the profile of the pharmaceutical market shifts from being
antibiotics-dependent to chronic care products. In anticipation ofthis transformation we added a
number of specialty sales teams to improve focus on cardiovascular, central nervous system

Taking the 2019 growth figures as benchmarks, it is clear to see how growth rates fell almost across all

the start of 2021, doctors began returning to their chambers and growth picked up in 2021

In conducting the appraisal, I felt a short coming of my technical knowledge and practical experience
to comprehend the conceptual framework of this type of assignment. Nevertheless, we tried to
understand almost all the key components of this assignment appraising at least those covered in the
research report.

3. External Analysis Renata

Renata Pharmaceutical’s external environments includes all relevant factors & influences
outside the company’s boundaries, by relevant, means important enough to have bearing on the
decisions the company ultimately makes about its direction, objectives, strategy, and business models
which disrobes below:

External environment which significantly includes all relevant factors & influences outside of the
company’s boundaries throughout any company can reach their business goal with their required
profitability. As fist we can discussed about external environment component as below: and then we
can disclose why is it important with examples:

 In the event of an Adverse Economic Scenario, the Board should strive to maintain a bigger
part of its earnings to build up reserves.
 In order to save resources, the Board should assess the market trends for technological advances
that need investments, competitive profitability, etc.
 In order to guarantee compliance with relevant regulations, the Board shall, when appropriate,
examine the limits imposed by Acts and other applicable laws as regards the declaration of
dividends.
 The choice on the dividend declaration may have an influence on the dividend distribution tax
or any tax deduction from sources, as required by tax act, which applies at the time of the
dividend declaration.
 Other events that are beyond management control, such as natural disasters, fire, etc., that affect
the Company's activities, may influence the decision on a dividend declaration.

3.2 Macro Environmental Analysis

There are a lot of macro environmental factors which influences the ecommerce business
of Bangladesh. Here I have tried to focus on those major factors which are affecting Renata.

3.2.1 Political Factors:

These are about how and to what degree a legislature mediates in the economy. This can
incorporate – government strategy, political security or instability in abroad markets, foreign
trade policy, charge arrangement, labor law, environmental law, trade restrictions and so on. It is
clear from the rundown over those political variables frequently affect associations and how they
work together. Associations should have the capacity to react to the present and expected future
enactment, and modify their promoting arrangement as needs be. Renata is an internet-based
P a g e | 18
A Research Report on Renata Pharmaceutical Limited
Submitted by A K M Masahedul Alam Khan

company and they depend on people ordering through internet. But due to the recent terrorist
attack recently. Government is planning to put some restriction over internet, which in terms
might hamper Renata.

3.2.2 Economic Factors:

Economic factors have a remarkable impact on how an organization does business and also
how profitable they are. Factors include – economic growth, interest rates, exchange rates,
inflation, disposable income of customers and businesses and so on. These factors can be further
broken down into macro-economic and micro-economic factors. Macro-economic factors deal
with the management of demand in any given economy. Governments use interest rate control,
taxation policy and government expenditure as their main mechanisms they use for this. Micro-
economic factors are all about the way people spend their incomes. This has a large impact on
B2C organizations in particular. Bangladesh is a developing country, here the per capita earning
is low. So Renata’s pricing should be done accordingly.

3.2.3 Social Factors:

Social Factors are the areas that involve the common belief and attitudes of the population. These
factors include – population growth, age distribution, career attitudes, social belief and so on.
These factors are of particular interest as they have a direct effect on how marketers understand
customers and what drives them. People in our country has this belief that online business isn’t
trustworthy. If this belief can be changed, then Renata would capture more market share from
new customers.

3.2.4 Technological Factors:

We all know how fast the technological landscape changes and how this impacts the way
we market our products. This is the age of smartphone, and most of Renata’s target market uses
one. So Renata’s is focusing on mobile advertising to capture the market.
P a g e | 19
A Research Report on Renata Pharmaceutical Limited
Submitted by A K M Masahedul Alam Khan

3.2.5 Environmental Factors:

Environmental factors include ecological and environmental aspects such as weather,


climate, and climate change, which may especially affect industries such as tourism, farming,
and insurance. But since Renata an internet base company, so environment doesn’t affect it
much.

3.2.6 Legal Factors:

Legal factors include discrimination law, consumer law, antitrust law, employment law,
and health and safety law. These factors can affect how a company operates, its costs, and the
demand for its products. Since Bangladesh is a developing country, government are very lenient
towards these online businesses. It’s not being affected by the law in any bad way.

3.3 The Micro Environment/ General Environment

Renata focused on their business the macro-environment/ general environment also contains six
segments as Global, Demographic, Socio-cultural, Political/ Legal, Economic & Technological
throughout this segments industry devourment and competitor environment mixed with the go ahead
with company success if any company can apply proper strategic planning, then they should reach their
goal with profitability within their time frame.

3.3.1 The Micro Environment of Renata

Also, Renata wants to enter in global market with their new product, then they must be
considered with above external environment properly. Like, the macro-environment components
global, demographic, socio-cultural, political, economic and technological environmental factory
otherwise not a single firm can’t sustain in the market as a new company with their product. Not only
that other environmental factor also they must be considered before enter their business also consigner
P a g e | 20
A Research Report on Renata Pharmaceutical Limited
Submitted by A K M Masahedul Alam Khan

their existing business to grow up the profitability also sustain their business in competitive market. For
example:

“During the current pandemic situation, Renata Limited is serving the people however possible by
going beyond pharmaceutical aspects and also caring for its employees. From the very beginning of
this pandemic, the engineering team of Renata Limited has developed several equipment’s to fight
COVID-19 like Automatic IPA Dispenser, Disinfection Chamber, High Flow System, Ventilators, UV
Sterilization Chamber etc. Air purifier is the latest addition in this list which was designed, tested and
distributed by the Engineering Department as per the instructions of our CEO.

This purifier gives better performance than other market available purifier in three aspects. One is its
build quality. Second is that it can clean particles of a room better than other available purifiers. We’ve
found better particle count result (class-D environment) using this. And the final one is the addition of
UV lights. By adding the UV light, now we are also able to kill the viruses in the air along with particle
cleaning. About 150 units of air purifiers were distributed to three sites of Renata Limited mostly to
various labs and office area s that have a higher number of employees to make their work places clean
and safe. We are hopeful that, we can give our colleagues at Renata Limited a better environment to
work for humanity during this critical pandemic situation.”

3.3.2 Industry Structure

As Renata Limited is constantly harnessing its employees’ individual personalities, goals, needs
and abilities to build a successful and intuitive working environment. Aligned with that perspective,
Renata Human Resources Division introduced a new talent management program for the Field Force
Department of its Animal Health Division named “FLDP-AHD Future Leadership Development
program for Animal Health Division”. This will be a series of program to be conducted round the year
and through which we will be developing the selected employees and will make them ready for the
future leadership role. In the first batch of FLDP- AHD 13 persons were selected from a pool 222
candidates through different kinds of assessments. Human Resources and Animal Health Divisions of
Renata Limited will be jointly conducting this Skill Development Program.

Renata considers about their Product, Customer, Geography and Stages in the production distribution
pipeline for sustain their business in competitive market with their rival. Also, for any first focus on
these components for keep up their business sustainability.

For example, Renata changed their business module as a result their growth was 8.8% compared to
market-growth of 8.4%. They continued to consolidate our position as market-leader. Also, their
pharmaceutical sales grew by 15.6% against market growth of 11.6%. We retained our rank of no. 4 in
terms of sales.

Another important Contract-Manufacturing: They registered one of our best years ever in this segment
growing by 81.9%. The business composition remained the same, viz., birth-control pills, oral saline,
and micronutrient powders. So, the entire growth is attributable to volume growth of existing
customers. Renata continues to remain bullish on this front.

While improving profitability is their key objective, maintaining or improving market rank has also
been an important performance indicator for us. However, it is now becoming increasingly difficult to
focus on market rank without compromising profitability. Yet, for most of our non-listed competitors,
profitability appears to be a distant secondary objective compared to their prime objective of increasing
turnover by spending heavily on marketing activities.

3.3.3 Strategic Group Mapping:

Renata focused on their Strategic Group Mapping & Competitor Analysis also consider for any
first for sustain their business in competitive market, for example if any company want to see their
present start within their competitor, they must be draw through strategic group mapping and

7. Renata Pharmaceutical Limited Competitive Strategies & Implementation

Renata Pharmaceutical Limited focused on Internal ventures strategy as they more concern about
their R&D and focused on long term strategy for add new products with their existing resources
based on country graduates to middle-income status, the profile of the pharmaceutical market
shifts from being antibiotics-dependent to chronic care products. In anticipation ofthis
transformation we added a number of specialty sales teams to improve focus on cardiovascular,
central nervous system, (CNS), and oncology products.

The performance of Renata Limited closely mirrored the severity of the Pandemic. While net
profit and net sales grew by 23.4% and 21.1% respectively, much of the growth took place when
the infection rate was low and vaccines became available in Bangladesh. An exceptional
performance in the contract-manufacturing segment also helped achieve this growth.

During July-November of 2020, hospitals were overwhelmed by Covid-19 patients. Treatments


for other diseases were postponed, and doctor chambers remained closed. As such,
pharmaceutical sales were dominated by hospital products related to Covid-19, while the growth
of retail products slowed down precipitously
P a g e | 36
A Research Report on Renata Pharmaceutical Limited
Submitted by A K M Masahedul Alam Khan

The CNS and Oncology teams were launched in early 2021 and therefore it is premature to
comment on their performance. However, the cardiovascular team, which was built up largely
during 2020 is clearly showing promise. Figure No. 3 shows the rising prescription share of the
Renata cardiovascular portfolio.

With new product launches planned throughout 2021 and 2022, the chronic care segment of our
portfolio should show excellent growth. The size of the specialty teams are expected to grow
significantly as well.

Renata globalization strategy remains unchanged and is based on the following assumptions:

(1) Having a large basket of products is sine qua non to performing well in generics.

(2) Specialty products deliver higher margins than pure generics.

Both these conditions require significant investments in product development and R&D. As
such, we now have four research teams to increase our generics portfolio and develop products
with novel features. A significant portion of our capital investment is allocated to develop R&D
capability.

They continue to invest heavily in plant, machinery, and distribution infrastructure. Production
capacity is being increased in most of our existing factories with emphasis placed on automation.
P a g e | 37
A Research Report on Renata Pharmaceutical Limited
Submitted by A K M Masahedul Alam Khan

By the end of 2022, we hope to unveil three new factories and two new depots. In addition, there
has been significant enhancement of R&D infrastructure on our Rajendrapur and Mirpur sites. It
is worth noting that our first factory built by Pfizer is now being converted into an R&D center
which very signification impact on their business growth in pandemic.

In contrast to the pharmaceutical market, the animal health market shows almost no direct
relationship to the Pandemic. The market was extremely bullish throughout 2020 despite the
severity of Covid-19

Secondly, Renata more concern about Acquisition strategy with their business module, as now
Renata recent year move to a very brief look at our constituent businesses.

Animal Health:

Renata growth was 8.8% compared to market-growth of 8.4%. We continued to consolidate our
position as market-leader.

When markets fall there is a tendency among companies to reduce their marketing and selling
activities. However, this inertia affects long-term customer relations. Therefore, we have made it
a point to ensure that the sales-forces continues their day-to-day activities, viz., visiting farms,
veterinarians, and chemists.

Pharmaceutical:

Renata recent sales grew by 15.6% against market growth of 11.6%. We retained our rank of no.
4 in terms of sales.

While improving profitability is our key objective, maintaining or improving market rank has
also been an important performance indicator for us. However, it is now becoming increasingly
difficult to focus on market rank without compromising profitability. Yet, for most of our non-
listed competitors, profitability appears to be a distant secondary objective compared to their
prime objective of increasing turnover by spending heavily on marketing activities.

For the interest of our shareholders, we shall focus on improving profitability rather than market
rank.

Contract-Manufacturing:
P a g e | 38
A Research Report on Renata Pharmaceutical Limited
Submitted by A K M Masahedul Alam Khan

Renata registered one of our best years ever in this segment growing by 81.9%. The business
composition remained the same, viz., birth-control pills, oral saline, and micronutrient powders.
So, the entire growth is attributable to volume growth of existing customers. We continue to
remain bullish on this front.

7.1 Renata Pharmaceutical Limited Implementation strategy

While the Pandemic affected Renata normal business, they maintained their focus on
long-term strategies. As a country graduates to middle-income status, the profile of the
pharmaceutical market shifts from being antibiotics-dependent to chronic care products. In
anticipation ofthis transformation Renata added a number of specialty sales teams to improve
focus on cardiovascular, central nervous system taking the 2019 growth figures as benchmarks, it
is clear to see how growth rates fell almost across all therapeutic classes as the Pandemic took
hold in 2020. However, as vaccines became available from the start of 2021, doctors began
returning to their chambers and growth picked up in 2021

The impact of Covid-19 on prescription generation can be seen clearly in Figure No. 2.

9. Recommendations and Future Challenges of Pharmaceutical Limited

In this competitive market, it is important for companies to outperform than other


companies and also, they need to set a standard which is not easily affected by any new
ventures in the market. So far, the findings recommends that if a big and well reputed
company establishes in Bangladesh, there is a very thin possibility for Renata to stop sales
drop. To have a sustainable future, Renata needs to create loyal and happy customer base.
The factors which are working as barriers for Renata’s growth and sustainability and the
recommended solutions are:

1. Firstly, they need to ensure their product quality. Even if they have lower number
of sellers but if they ensure the quality products, customer will shop from them
longer and will not switch to other competitors. So, their products must be of good
quality.
2. Customers buy from online to save their time. If that purpose is not served it
becomes pointless for them to shop from Renata.
3. After complaining and returning default product, if customers will get prompt
P a g e | 41
A Research Report on Renata Pharmaceutical Limited
Submitted by A K M Masahedul Alam Khan

service and the mistakes becomes substitute effectively, then, there is a high chance
that they will repurchase. Most significantly, they will think that company cares
about their problem and always willing to fulfill their need.
4. While choosing the pricing strategy, company must keep in mind that their price
matches the current market prices. Price must be competitive enough to influence
customers to purchase product from Renata rather from other e-commerce sites. If
the price will be high, there should be a valid reason. Such as a good quality
product may have higher price. But then again, the quality of the product must be
ensured.

Finally, to save Renata sales drop if big companies start their operation in Bangladesh will be
good ties with their sellers and distribution channels and customer’s reliability on the brand. For
them ensuring high quality service is a must. And major some recommendation as below:

 Renata Limited should enter into new therapeutic area like anti cancer products.
 Should be create dependable expertise and keep them within the organization for future
competition.
 Always consider social benefits under moral ethics any business operation.
 Should be training arrangement for development existing employee.
 Increasing the number of FFs to ensure adequate frequency of customer call.
 Presence should be more in some important rural areas as these markets are still
untapped.
 More emphasis on service-oriented approach to overcome price objection by doctors
through relationship building.
 Field activities among younger generation of prescribers which will help to build
potential future prescribers.
 More strategic collaboration with other manufacturers is needed to gain access to
important technology and resources. (ex: Vaccine)
 To further develop and strengthen institution business through innovative product
