This teaching case focuses on corporate entrepreneurship and collaborative innovation during an unprecedented crisis – the shortage in mechanical ventilators when the Covid-19 pandemic began. Based on secondary data sources, the case outlines the challenges of designing and manufacturing mechanical ventilators and introduces four initiatives, consisting of organisations with often limited experience in medical device manufacturing that attempted to address the predicted shortage of ventilators. By comparing the approaches used in these initiatives, the case sensitises students to the challenges of pursuing opportunities outside a firm's established domain of expertise and how inter-organisational collaboration affects such attempts. Although the case centres on an unprecedented event, the insights it develops make it suitable for a range of innovation and entrepreneurship-related under- and post-graduates courses.

Dr Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd (DRL) was one of India’s success stories in the pharma space, wherein a founder’s dream turned into a reality. It had a remarkable growth over three decades, with impeccable quality and regulatory standards, as it went on to become the number-two pharma company in India by sales. However, in the last 3 years, DRL was navigating one of the most challenging times it had ever faced for various reasons. Sales were stagnated, profits had plunged, costs had spiralled and manufacturing sites grappled with US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issues—and more importantly, its growth strategies were not delivering results. This resulted in value erosion, reduced number of new product approvals, customers doubting the capabilities, competitors doing much better, etc. Also, it questioned whether DRL continued to be the bellwether or not for the Indian pharma fraternity as competitors raced ahead. This case highlights the global and Indian context of the pharma industry, along with details of three main competitors based on secondary data sources, and analyses the ongoing issues in DRL. Finally, it concludes by highlighting the six decision buckets and the way forward to make DRL a bellwether again in the Indian pharma industry.

<p>One of the most firmly-established and widespread marketing policies in the comic book industry is the humanization of superheroes as a strategy to achieve success, especially for characters populating the Marvel Universe. However, there is no clear evidence of how exactly artists actually and operatively create human superheroes, and whether those variables truly affect sales of comic books. To address those two issues we run a quali-quantitative study by interviewing experts, and regressing sales on a broad range of variables of comic books gathered through content analysis and secondary data sources. Our findings show that humanization is not as powerful as expected in driving sales of comic books.</p>
