Case Study

Q4. You have been appointed to a committee to overlook lapses in a clinical trial done by one of the famous companies in India known for manufacturing affordable drugs in the world. The reason behind setting up the committee was that an employee of the company had reported that the management was trying to push the said drug without due diligence. This created a huge controversy in the country regarding the overall functioning of the country. Pharmaceutical companies from western countries are also lobbying against this company.

When you took over the charge, you came to know that one of the employees in-charge of the trial was your friend from your graduation days. While casually talking to him, he confesses that the company is indeed taking shortcuts for faster approval for their drugs solely owing to the demand for these drugs amongst the general and common public. He further adds that the company does not have any other goals than help the general public.

When you coax him to put his statement on record, he respectfully declines to do anything in this regard. He further adds that the person who has blown the whistle on the company is a disgruntled employee who was pulled up by the management for his lackadaisical performance. Your friend requests you not to harm the company, since any harm to the company will negatively impact the goal of ensuring affordable medicine, not just in the country but also in the world.

In the context of this case study, answer the following questions:

1. 1. 1. What are the challenges for you in this situation?
      2. What possible course of action can you take in this situation?
      3. Evaluate each of these courses of action briefly.
      4. Which course of action will you choose? Justify your choice adequately.
