Goals and realities in a distribution system: The case of pharmaceuticals in Norway

Kjell Grønhaug

Omega, 1978, vol. 6, issue 6, 501-506

Abstract: As several writers have indicated, significant deviations from the competitive model are found in pharmaceutical markets. Aside from barriers related to scale economies, technological factors and demand conditions, a variety of legal restraints are placed on production, distribution and consumption of such products. A description of the distribution of pharmaceuticals in one country (Norway), has been undertaken, and the impact of specific restrictions on the conduct of various factors and some aspects of performance in this distribution system are discussed and analyzed.
