Abstract  
Purpose of the study: to formulate approaches to strategic management of the pharmaceutical industry in Ukraine under globalization  
transformations of the world economy. Methodology: the following research methods were used: graphic modeling, analytical and  
structural-logical methods for economic justification of the efficiency of the presented economic and statistical calculations, as well as  
systematization and generalization of indicators. Results: Tendencies in the global pharmaceutical market are analyzed in the paper,  
particularly, the world experience of government pharmaceutical regulation. Changes for 2010-2017 in the dynamics of production of the  
main types of pharmaceuticals are analyzed. A tendency of growth in output value is revealed to be stable, operational profitability to be  
increased and the number of manufacturers to be decreased due to reducing small businesses. The growth of manufacturing capacity of  
pharmaceutical companies is evidenced by an increase in the common currency mainly due to the attracted capital. The role and significance  
of the pharmaceutical industry for development of the country are described herein. Tendencies of globalization and their influence on the  
pharmaceutics development are analyzed. According to the analysis results, a model to form a strategy for the pharmaceutics development  
was proposed that includes two outlines: one outline represents the core of the enterprise strategy, strategic development directions and  
principles, and the other is a set of functional strategies subordinated to the global strategy but providing a flexible mechanism to monitor  
and adjust changes. The scheme of formation of the strategy for pharmaceutics development in Ukraine is offered to implement the  
proposed model. The purpose of the research is to determine the essence of the concept of strategic management and its importance for the  
pharmaceutical industry in Ukraine. Applications of this study: contains substantiations on certain negative aspects for the national security  
of the country in globalization, predicting the market monopolization and increased competition, but also on certain positive aspects in the  
possibility of creating innovative clusters through technology transfer, quality improvement, and so on. However, positive benefits of  
globalization can be enjoyed only upon formation of the system of rapid response to challenges and opportunities of the modern market.  
Novelty/Originality of this study: Processes, methods and approaches of pharmaceutical development management have been studied in  
our country throughout the period of formation and development of Ukraine as an independent state. However, mostly, the studies are  
characterized by fragmentary nature and address certain aspects of improving the industry's functioning: increasing its competitiveness,  
investment attractiveness, innovations, marketing, logistics, and state government. At the same time, we did not find a comprehensive  
study on the strategy for the stable development of pharmacy.

Introduction  
health care, therefore the level of the pharmaceutical industry  
development determines the national security and health of the  
nation. In addition, the pharmaceutical industry is assumed to be  
high-tech and science-intensive and to act as one of the  
locomotives of the world's economic growth. So, according to  
forecasts, in 2017-2021, it will increase by 34% - to $1,485  
trillion. Almost a quarter of this increase is expected to be  
provided by countries with emerging pharmaceutical markets.  
Thus to find a strategy for development of the domestic  
pharmaceutical industry seems to be very urgent to create a  
super-powerful cluster of economy.  
Currently the world economy is under transformation, the  
world picture keeps changing, resulting in changed development  
directions and leaders in each economy branches. Today,  
information and telecommunication technologies, robot-  
building, genetic and bioengineering are believed to be the main  
world-leading industries (3,4,8,9,15,20,25,30,31,33,34). The  
growth of these industries show the world development move  
from the primary industries (metallurgy, mining, etc.) to the third  
new group, aimed at meeting individual's needs  
(
1,5,16,21,24,29,35). The pharmaceutical industry is considered  
to be one of the most important and powerful economy segments  
in any country. Besides the pharmaceutical industry is a

The pharmaceutical market is currently considered to be one  
of the key drivers of global economic growth. The market  
structure is constantly changing - there is a tendency to territorial  
redistribution of the global pharmaceutical market. For 2012-

Literature Review  
Processes, methods and approaches of pharmaceutical  
development management have been studied in our country  
throughout the period of formation and development of Ukraine  
as an independent state. So, the issues of import substitution,  
described by E.M. Bilousov (2) and others, seemed to be relevant  
enough. The scientists rightly point out the need to apply the  
import substitution strategy, because it corresponds to the goal  
of the pharmaceutical market development - to meet the  
population needs in high-quality medicines of domestic  
production. The issues of strategic development of enterprises  
are discussed by Dorovsky (6) who considers applicability in our  
country of the experience of developed countries leading in the  
pharmaceutical industry and offers to gradually apply an export-  
oriented development strategy. Also issues on justification and  
implementation of the sustainable development concept in the  
pharmaceutics management in Ukraine are thoroughly  
investigated by Moroz et al. (19). Fundamental researches by  
Kotvitska and Kostiuk, Pashkov, Strapchuk should be  
distinguished among works by the scientists involved in the  
pharmaceutics analysis (13,23,28) . Certain aspects of the  
analysis of the pharmaceutical market were highlighted in the  
works by Shabelnik (10,27).  
2014, the share of Japan and the countries of North America,  
Europe decreased from 71.0% to 66.1%, while in Asia and  
Africa increased from 17.44% to 20.14% and in Latin America  
-
from 7.4% to 8.8%. According to the data of 2016-2017, the  
share of the United States of America was 64.7%, Europe -  
7.5%, Japan - 7.3%, of other countries - 9.4%, and IMS Health,

accounting for 33.8% of the world pharmaceutical market.  
However, mostly, the studies are characterized by  
fragmentary nature and address certain aspects of improving the  
industry's functioning: increasing its competitiveness,  
investment attractiveness, innovations, marketing, logistics, and  
state government (26; 36). At the same time, we did not find a  
comprehensive study on the strategy for the stable development  
of pharmacy.  
The purpose of the article is to formulate approaches to  
strategic management of the pharmaceutical industry in Ukraine  
under globalization transformations of the world economy.

Results  
An important element of the government management  
The growth in demand in the global pharmaceutical market  
was due to increased population, primarily in Asia and Africa,  
increased life expectancy of the population at birth, population  
aging and an increase in its chronic diseases, incomes, as well as  
the governments’ policy regarding growth of state budget  
expenditures on health care.  
system is the pharmaceutical industry management with a  
significant role both in the health care system and in the  
economy in general. Ukrainian pharmacy was historically a  
leader in scientific, educational, and manufacturing spheres, so  
it is believed to be a strategically important component of the  
macroeconomic complex of the country. Over the years of  
Ukraine's independence, approaches to pharmacy and public  
authorities have been constantly changing: the search for  
effective principles of state government and their relationship -  
integrated and sectoral, organizational and structural-functional,  
centralization and decentralization - were sometimes complex,  
sometimes chaotic (7,18,19).  
The Ukrainian pharmaceutical market is also influenced by  
global trends and during the last period its growth was almost  
20%. (Fig. 2)

According to researchers in 2017, both retail sales of drugs  
and hospital procurements increased. Thus, retail sales in  
monetary terms increased by 21% to UAH 61.2 billion; in  
natural units - by 7%, up to 1.115 billion packages. Hospital  
procurements in money terms increased by 10% to UAH 8.8  
billion; in nature - by 15%, up to 109 million packages.  
However, according to the research, one Ukrainian spends on  
average $ 62 for medications over a year, while a resident of the  
UK - $ 383, Sweden - $ 501, Canada - $ 587.  
pharmaceutical market was highly affected by the merger of the  
following companies:  
- Smithkline Beckman + Beecham = Smithkline Beecham (UK);  
- American Home Products + American Cyanamid = American  
Home Products (USA);  
- Glaxo + Welcome = Glaxo Welcome (UK);  
- Roche + Syntex = Roche (Fr); 2009 - Ciba + Sandor = Novartis  
(Swiss);  
- Pharmacia (Sweden) + Upjohn (USA) = Pharmacia & Upjohn  
One of the key historical events that determine the world  
economy development is globalization. As Pashkov bnoted in  
his paper, with globalization tools, 15% of the world's  
population, mostly in Europe and the United States, consume  
+ Pfizer = Pfizer.  
According to Pharma Business News, only 50 world's largest  
collaborators remain by 2020. Pricewaterhouse Coopers analysts  
argue that mergers will continue until 5-10 pharmaceutical  
companies with a strong research base are established. Klunko  
states, that the collaboration intensification in the global  
pharmaceutical industry can be predicted to result in even larger  
pharmaceutical conglomerates appear and to accelerate the total  
market oligopolization (11,12).  
Pashkov notes that the main reason for mergers of big  
corporations into larger structures is to increase their costs for  
research and development works (23). The research-based  
pharmaceutical industry can play a critical role in restoring  
Europe to growth and ensuring future competitiveness in an  
advancing global economy. In 2016 it invested an estimated €  
35,000 million in R&D in Europe. It directly employs some  
745,000 people and generates three to four times more  
employment indirectly  upstream and downstream  than it  
does directly. However, the sector faces real challenges. Besides  
the additional regulatory hurdles and escalating R&D costs, the  
sector has been severely hit by the impact of fiscal austerity  
measures introduced by governments across much of Europe  
since 2010.  
Costs for development of new medications and terms for  
their implementation are significantly increased. In order to  
successfully compete with others, the company needs to produce  
annually several new original drugs (brands), but it requires up  
to 10 years of researches and hundreds of millions of dollars a  
year. Such risky and long-term projects require finances.  
Consequently, the common science budgets of large  
pharmaceutical companies make annually from one to seven  
billion dollars. USA (17). Globalization has vague  
consequences: on the one hand, the company within the  
multinational company is less responsive to negative  
fluctuations of the external environment, and on the other hand,  
profits go to the country of a parent enterprise.  
Today, pharmaceutical companies in Ukraine face problems  
associated with the need to identify further ways of its  
development under significant reduction of export potential,  
increased competition in the domestic pharmaceutical market  
and low purchasing power of the population, on the one hand,  
and the need to ensure availability and high quality of medicines  
as the main priorities, on the other hand.  
7
5% of all human resources, and 85% of the remaining  
population consume 25% of resources (22, 23). We can say that  
globalization has become an attribute of the modern economy.  
The most active actors and drivers of globalization are  
Transnational Corporations (TNCs), which are considered to be  
the main driving force of globalization and key element of the  
entire modern international economy. Under their influence,  
international trade is less consistent with principles of so-called  
free trade, since most operations, especially in the  
pharmaceutical market, are conducted between subsidiaries of  
international business entities.  
The modern pharmaceutical industry is a global business  
investing in research and development. Consequently, the  
pharmaceutical market should be seen as an object affected by  
globalization in all its manifestations. The global pharmaceutical  
industry has been transforming significantly over the last decade.  
Intense globalization, complicated parameters determining the  
product competitiveness and characterizing the company's  
intense struggle for the global market share, create new  
opportunities for enterprises and, at the same time, determine  
new obstacles. In addition, the pharmaceutical market has  
certain features that distinguish it from other markets:  
diverse drug assortment,  
long development cycle,  
high knowledge intensity,  
inelastic demand,  
dependence of demand on epidemics, natural  
disasters and other extreme events.  
Consequently, the pharmaceutical market as a part of the  
market for consumer goods and services is characterized by a  
tendency towards globalization caused by: the common need for  
all humanity in health care and the natural desire to increase the  
life expectancy; the similar dynamics and prevalence of main  
diseases in different countries; search for the most effective  
medicines; the high cost of development and implementation of  
new drugs, requiring efforts worldwide; the aspiration of  
pharmaceutical companies to widen the business boundaries as  
much as possible and to get a larger market share (17).  
Characteristics of pharmaceutical TNCs operation can be  
determined:  
According to the industrial product portfolio classification  
(
2014), intended for international comparison, pharmaceutical

Data are provided only for small enterprises according to the data of the State Statistics Committee (2018)  
The trend to import dependence is also confirmed by the fact,  
according to the World Health Organization (WHO), that  
domestic medicinal products (MP) occupies just 30% of the  
Ukrainian pharmaceutical market in value terms, and the share  
of imported medicines is about 70% (13). Ukrainian  
manufacturers are in unequal conditions with foreign  
competitors: for the last 10 years, there was a tendency towards  
a decrease in the share of domestic medicinal products from 39%  
in monetary terms in the pharmaceutical market in 2005 year to  
increasing a share of high-tech products that meet international  
standards.  
Besides a significant share of imported products, the  
Ukrainian pharmaceutical market has an appropriate structure:  
original medicines make 4% in natural units, or 16% in monetary  
terms; generics - 35% in both natural units and monetary terms;  
other (traditional, herbal, immunobiological, etc.) drugs make  
61% in natural units and 49% in monetary terms. Also, the  
Ukrainian pharmaceutical market is characterized by a great  
share of generics (their share makes 90% in the Ukrainian  
market). According to the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, on  
average, the Ukrainian spends on medications 8.1% of income,  
ranking the fourth place in the budget (6,32). Obviously, a  
further significant increase in consumer spending on medicines  
is expected due to population aging and environment  
deterioration. Thus requirements for the supply and drug quality  
will also increase steadily. Ukraine ranks fourth among the CIS  
countries for the drug consumption. And the Ukrainian level of  
$ 48 per capita is lower versus to Europe. Thus, in the Czech  
Republic, this indicator is 331 dollars, in Slovakia - 254 dollars,  
in Poland - 154 dollars. So we can conclude that there is a  
significant potential for growth in the Ukrainian pharmaceuticals  
market volume. Another important factor in the market growth  
in monetary terms is transition of domestic drug manufacturers  
to the high price drug production, whereas historically they  
specialized in cheap products, unlike foreign companies.

5% in 2010. This situation is explained by several  
circumstances, since the ratio of the cost of domestic and foreign  
drugs today is 1:5. Drug sales volumes in physical terms (in  
packages) are 2:1, that is, 66% of domestic drugs account for  
3
4% of foreign medicines. However sales volumes on the  
contrary make 1:3, that is, 25% of domestic versus 75% of  
imported. This demonstrates significantly lower prices on  
domestic drugs and their affordability.  
Besides, a study was conducted on exports and imports of  
pharmaceutical products from 2012 to 2018 (Fig. 3).  
The analysis shows that 93% of Ukrainian pharmaceuticals  
are exported to CIS countries, however pharmaceuticals import  
from these countries makes only 4.5%. According to the  
studying the Ukrainian pharmaceutical market state, the market  
seems to require further development, investment attraction,  
restructure and diversification of the export structure by

At the same time, all participants in the pharmaceutical  
market of Ukraine, forming its structure, can be divided into  
the following main groups:  
to increase the quality of the provided medicinal services, and  
thus to raise the level of national security.  
Thus, strategic management of the pharmaceutical  
industry development in Ukraine should be aimed at  
maintaining the positive influence of factors-stabilizers and  
forecasting and minimizing the negative effects of  
destabilizing factors.  
In world practice, considerable experience has been gained  
in the pharmaceutical regulatory approaches. In many  
countries, including the former Soviet Union republics, certain  
laws on the legal regulation of the medicines circulation and  
pharmaceutical activities, drug quality control, etc. have been  
developed.  
-
Domestic manufacturers which meet the European GMP  
standards;  
Eastern European producers (KRKA, GedeonRichter), long-  
term suppliers for the Ukrainian market;  
New generic companies (Actavis, Zentiva), characterized by  
flexible pricing and fast formation of the product range;  
Innovative producers (Novartis, Sanofi-Aventis), developing  
-
-
-
new approaches to treatment, have a broad evidence base, but  
also higher prices;  
-
Niche companies (MiliHealthcare, Heel) with successful  
positions in certain markets.  
According to data published in the report by R. Gerster,  
transnational companies dominated in the Indian market by  
1970 which accounted for 85% of the pharmaceutical market  
in monetary terms. Everything changed after the 1970 Patent  
Act adoption that dramatically affected the Indian  
pharmaceutical market structure. Clause 83 of this Act states  
that patents are granted to encourage inventions and to secure  
that the inventions are worked in India on a commercial scale,  
however they are not granted merely to enable patentees to  
enjoy a monopoly for the importation of the patented article.  
The main feature of the act was not the denial of patent rights  
- the state recognizes them and is ready to pay for them, but to  
prevent the monopolization of the activities of large  
companies. In the Indian pharmaceutical sector, only  
technological features of those productions are currently  
patented, which patent protection lasts for 7 years. Besides the  
state reserves the right to independently grant licenses for  
drugs in case if a patent holder refuses to do so on fair terms.  
As a result, over 20 years, the share of multinational  
companies in the Indian pharmaceutical market has decreased  
by more than twice - up to 40% (12).  
Consequently, this heterogeneity of the market structure  
and the significant influence of the foreign policy and  
economic situation make the national pharmaceutical industry  
face general problems of choosing a strategy and strategic  
development methods taking into account the globalization  
influence.  
Tendencies to globalization and concentration of the  
global pharmaceutical market through mergers and  
acquisitions of large companies are observed. An analysis of  
tendencies in the global pharmaceutical market suggests  
certain factors, incentive and disincentive for its growth. And  
considering the deep interconnection and interdependence of  
our country's economy with world tendencies, a development  
strategy for the domestic pharmaceutical market should be  
based on deep understanding of the mechanism of interaction  
of these factors.  
Some researchers, in particular E.M. Bilousov et al. (2),  
distinguish both positive and negative sides in globalization  
regarding each country. Negative ones include, firstly, state  
institutions’ service for interests of international corporations,  
which in practice weaken the national manufacturers’  
interests, moving them out of external markets. Secondly, the  
economy power usurpation by the developed countries.  
Thirdly, the weakening of the country’s sovereignty by  
limiting opportunities for choosing activities in foreign  
markets. Fourthly, increased requirements of regulatory  
documents of interstate entities in relation to the national  
legislation of a particular country. E.M. Bilousov et al. (2)  
considers the improved economic state by attracting  
investments, bank capital, a single monetary currency, mutual  
funds, etc, to be positive aspects of globalization from the  
point of view of ensuring the sovereignty of a particular  
country. In general, the analysis of modern interstate  
cooperation allows to state that the regulatory mechanisms  
resulted by such cooperation show different effectiveness  
depending on its scope (2).  
The main globalization factors influencing development of  
the pharmaceutical industry can be divided into two directions:  
factors-stabilizers and factors-destabilizers. For example,  
technology transfer can be considered as a positive factor-  
stabilizer, which increases the product innovation, the  
technological level of the pharmaceutical industry, which  
should expand markets in the future. The unification of the  
treatment standards and the medicines quality will require  
additional funding soon, that means additional costs for  
equipment, laboratory, training, but in the long term, will  
enable to offer the products in a larger number of markets, and  
Domestic researchers also consider the possibility of  
forming  
a
strategy for the pharmaceutical market  
development. For example, the authors (27) consider the  
strategy of sustainable development, which consists of  
economic, ecological and social and institutional aspects. The  
national sustainable development strategy, currently being  
actively discussed, has a platform for forming the sustainable  
development strategy and goals: availability of medicines,  
quality and rational use. By the way, development and  
implementation of the National Drug Policy were required by  
the World Health Organization for each country, and it should  
define the goals set by the government for the pharmaceutical  
sector and determine the strategy for their achievement.  
Klunko substantiates in her work the need to use an import  
substitution strategy aimed at increasing the use of internal  
reserves and treatment protocols which involve local generics,  
not imported original medicines (11). However, the import  
substitution strategy is considered to be part of a common  
strategy, and the main direction of the industry development  
should be in transition to the use of both strategies - import  
substitution and export orientation.  
Dorovsky examines the experience of Turkey and the  
opportunity to stimulate the production of generics and  
original drugs under the pharmaceutical manufacturers’ (6)  
licenses and offers the following strategic development areas:  
joint ventures, quality standards compliance, concentration in  
biotechnology developments.

E.M. Bilousov et al. (2) offers a special mode of  
management in the pharmaceutical market under  
globalization, namely:  
-
government regulation of relations in the pharmaceutical  
activity; creation of conditions for economic competition;  
approximation of requirements of the state standards for  
-
pharmaceutical products, production technologies, and  
measurement and assessment methods to the relevant  
standards, technologies, means and methods applied in the EU;  
-
economic stimulation of the production of drugs and medical  
devices in Ukraine; scientifically grounded state regulation of  
drug prices and tariffs; compliance with the rules, norms and  
standards by all subjects of pharmaceutical activity;  
-
licensing of economic activities on the medicine production,  
import and sale as a separate component of pharmaceutical  
products; priority of medicine provision not other types of  
pharmaceutical activity; guaranteed reimbursement of the  
population’ expenses for prescribed drugs; use of high-quality  
and proven efficacy of pharmaceutical products; providing  
free access to information on the drug quality and efficacy.  
The regulation system of the pharmaceutical industry  
consists of international, regional and national levels (Fig. 3)  
and this confirms that the pharmaceutical market is considered  
to be one of the biggest globalized sectors of the world  
economy, the impact of each level should be taken into account  
when forming a development strategy.  
Figure 5: The system of pharmaceutical market regulation in Ukraine  
Thus the government policy in the pharmaceutical market  
should inherently combine both main principles of the state  
innovation policy and general requirements applicable in the  
world drug regulation market. However, in the current legal  
regulation, the pharmaceutics development strategy is partially  
stipulated in the Law of Ukraine (1996) "On Medicines",  
which defines the basic principles of medicine quality control  
and their production, sales, but some important provisions on  
effective means (methods) of the state regulation need to be  
developed and implemented in order to provide an integrated  
strategy for the pharmaceutical activity in today's  
globalization.  
Having examined the globalization nature, symptoms and  
impact on the pharmaceutical market, we came to the  
conclusion that the strategy of the pharmaceutical industry  
development should focus upon solving several key modern  
problems:  
-
The pharmaceutics development strategy should implement  
principles and values of the new health economy;  
The pharmaceutics development strategy should take into  
-
account the change in approaches to revealing and meeting the  
consumer's needs - orientation at customers and patient’s  
personality, communication with patients and health care  
institutions to determine the patient's needs (patient first);  
-
The pharmaceutics development strategy should take into  
account the change in approaches to formation of the value  
chain;  
-
The pharmaceutics development strategy should take into  
Figure 4: Pharmaceutical regulation system (compiled by the  
authors)  
account the change in approaches to cost formation (some  
countries refuse to finance treatment of certain groups of  
diseases, which makes the production of certain groups of  
drugs unnecessary).  
Consequently, globalization changes approaches to  
business running, as well as accelerates and monopolizes  
scientific and technological progress, ongoing researches  
result in new treatment methods, and therefore a strategy in  
this industry should take into account these features, but yet  
provide leadership and competitiveness. Such diverse and  
dynamically changing conditions of the pharmaceutical  
industry require new approaches to their strategic  
development.  
WHO, the European Commission and the European  
Medicines Agency (EMA) have signed an agreement on  
exchange of information on safety, quality and efficacy of  
medicines, registered medicinal devices or products within the  
EU /WHO.  
In Ukraine, the regulatory activity is governed by Order of  
the ST-N MOHU 42-1.1:2013 "Medicines. Good regulatory  
practice", harmonized with WHO recommendations (Fig. 5).  
However, it is necessary to understand that the  
pharmaceutics development strategy is only one element of the  
4
14  
Journal of Environmental Treatment Techniques  
2019, Volume 7, Issue 3, Pages: 404-417  
country's development strategy and should inherently consist  
with the general innovation strategy of the country's  
development.  
For smooth entry of Ukraine into the world economic  
space, an innovation model of the economy should be formed,  
the efficiency of the production structure should be increased  
by increasing the share of high-tech industries, providing  
radical changes in international specialization in the current  
dynamic conditions of production internationalization. The  
innovative model of economic development, which became  
the dominant doctrine of economic growth in economically  
and technologically developed countries and countries with  
positive dynamics of technological and economic changes, is  
considered to be essential basing on large-scale introduction  
into economic circulation through innovative processes of  
such products of intellectual work as advanced technologies,  
scientific and technical developments and other objects of  
intellectual property rights of the scientific and technical  
sphere, as well as introduction of effective organizational and  
managerial decisions to commercialize them or to obtain a  
social and economic effect. Although innovation as a  
phenomenon of social and economic life is expressed in many  
different ways, it is also associated with various factors,  
regulatory nuances, economic and non-economic incentives.  
The state considers stimulation and activation of innovations,  
formation of the information society to be priority national  
interests and takes it as a benchmark in shaping the further  
social and economic development course, and this means that  
the issue of creating conditions, activating and implementing  
innovative transformations in the real sector of the economy  
and in the social sphere, building of an innovative model of  
economic development are believed to be a component of the  
chosen strategic course of the social and economic policy of  
Ukraine. At the same time, legislative inconsistency on the  
state innovation policy as a separate component in the Civil  
Code of Ukraine, in particular in Art. 10 and 1 Art. 328,  
nullifies the building of an innovative model of economic  
development, including in health care. The lack of scientific  
and legal support for innovation activity does not allow the  
integral state innovation policy to be formed, even at a  
conceptual level. Thus public procurement, direct investments,  
preferential loans, grants, financial guarantees, fiscal  
preferences, non-financial services and other non-financial  
support are believed to be the main tools for state stimulation  
of innovation in the EU member states and other developed  
countries. That is, the European countries use the systemic  
principle of the innovation policy implementation, based on  
definition of specific legal tools and mechanisms to achieve  
the tasks.  
Figure 6: Model of strategic management of the pharmaceutical  
industry development (the author's development)  
The basic principles, goals and objectives that underlie this  
core should remain unchanged under any circumstances and  
changes in the political and economic situation. That is, the  
core of the strategy reflects national interests on the national  
security, raising the quality of life. The first level strategy, as  
a tool for an integrated management model, forms the behavior  
principles, rules and logic.  
The second outline should be an extensive system of  
strategic directions (functional development strategies in areas  
socially and politically important for the country  
development), which provide for continuous monitoring and  
appropriate correction of each direction of the strategy for  
changing the market environment. That is, the very second  
core of functional strategies should provide for a flexible  
mechanism for appropriate changes/adjustments of the  
strategy to respond to increasingly complex economic  
conditions. Because, as Khalimon notes in the work, the  
leadership is hard to be retained because it is hard to change  
the existing strategy. That is, quite often, because of the lack  
of  
a flexible mechanism that changes the strategic  
development direction radically and quickly and effectively  
changes only some functional components of the global  
strategy, the country becomes an outsider in world competition  
(10).  
In our opinion, in creating a mechanism for strategic  
pharmaceutics management under globalization, such  
synergetic paradigm should be used that offers a scheme for  
forming a strategy for the pharmaceutics development, which  
considers the globalization influence (Fig. 7). The scheme of  
strategy formation allows implementation of the proposed  
model of strategic pharmaceutics development. The proposed  
scheme contains two proposed outlines of strategy  
development. The first outline (the core of the pharmaceutics  
strategy) has its practical implications in the National Drug  
Policy. The second outline is already connected with the  
pharmaceutics subjects - drug manufacturers, wholesalers and  
retailers - who have to formulate functional strategies and  
bring them in line with the global strategy for pharmaceutics  
development.  
Thus, considering the dependence of the domestic  
pharmaceutical market on the above globalization  
manifestations that require a quick and adequate response, we  
offer formation of a strategy and strategic management  
grouped together in two contours (Figure 6). One should be a  
stable unchanging core that determines the global priority of  
the pharmaceutical industry, and the other contour represents  
more flexible principles, tools and directions for development  
in specific areas that allows functional development strategies  
to be formed.  
The first outline is a solid core strategy, which contains the  
basic principles, upon which the whole system of the  
pharmaceutical industry is focused.

efforts have to be focused upon creating an extensive  
legislative and regulatory framework that would provide wide  
opportunities for legal and private entities to implement and  
support innovation activities regardless of basic government  
orders. That is, the system of organization of innovation  
activities at Ukrainian enterprises should not be limited to their  
own research and development works, but rather  should  
focus upon continuous external monitoring and search for  
innovations in the global information space, evaluation and  
acquisition of new technologies necessary for their intensive  
development of the pharmaceutical industry.  
The paper contains substantiations on certain negative  
aspects for the national security of the country in globalization,  
predicting the market monopolization and increased  
competition, but also on certain positive aspects in the  
possibility of creating innovative clusters through technology  
transfer, quality improvement, and so on. However, positive  
benefits of globalization can be enjoyed only upon formation  
of the system of rapid response to challenges and opportunities  
of the modern market.
