Answer the questions:
- What are the 10 biggest for-profit companies in this field?
- How is the market distributed?
- Where are they located? Are there any incentives for specific locations?
- Correlate them with their main outputs (Data. Narratives. Tools)
- Understand and identify cases where these companies are “experimenting” or “adopting” commons-based approaches
- Identify these cases and treat them as entities that will also be placed in our mapping*device (the quadrants)
- Identify what companies are the “Microsofts” of the field and what companies are the “IBMs” of the field
Note on outputs: all these companies make their money primarily through developing and patenting drugs. The distinguishing factor seems to be that the largest of these companies produce the drugs themselves, while the smaller ones license these drugs to be produced by larger pharmaceutical companies
