Abstract:
				
					
						| 
 
This case study is about SuperDrugz, a mid-sized pharmaceutical company in 
India. Initially starting off as an entrepreneurial venture, the company had 
been put in the hands of a professional management group. The new team strove to 
cultivate a performance culture through strong results-based controls and 
weeding out non-performers.  
 
However, a whistle-blower brought out into the open 
serious ethical lapses in the company. Shortly after joining as an Area Manager 
in the country's North Eastern Region, the person found that the team (including 
his seniors) was adopting unethical/illegal means to meet the high sales 
targets.

				to the team or comply with law, he chose the later. Now the 
				founder of the company had to put in place mechanisms to ensure 
				that everyone in the company complied with the company's code of 
				ethics and the law of the land. 
				Issues:
