Abstract
Dong-A has been the leading domestic firm in the Korean pharmaceutical industry since its establishment in 1932. By continuously investing in research and development (R&D), Dong- A has developed three original drugs and achieved a competitive advantage over its domestic competitors. However, since the introduction of a drug price reduction policy in 2012 by the Korean government, Dong-A's sales revenue from the domestic market has decreased significantly. This new policy has also influenced the landscape of the Korean pharmaceutical industry by changing the strategic positions of other pharmaceutical firms. Dong-A must respond to this challenging environment.
