Abstract: | It didn't take long for Fred Hassan to figure out how bad things were at Pharmacia & Upjohn Inc. Two weeks after arriving from American Home Products Corp. to take over as chief executive in 1997, Hassan called a meeting in Sweden to discuss the launch of the company's upcoming bladder-control medicine, Detrol, in the U.S. But instead of drawing up marketing plans, a stunned Hassan discovered that Pharmacia's very rights to the drug were in question. |
