Sanofi-Aventis China R&D Head Jiang On Fast And Furious Adaptation In China
Executive Summary
Sanofi-Aventis is grabbing a larger share of the emerging markets from many of its rivals, such as Pfizer and Wyeth, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline and Merck and Schering-Plough. Part of the reason behind Sanofi's success is its aggressive strategy in China, where it currently has 3,500 employees in vaccines, R&D, commercial operations and manufacturing. Sanofi-Aventis China R&D Head Frank Jiang sat down for a recent interview to discuss the environment in China and how Sanofi is approaching R&D there.
