The history of the pharmaceutical industry is closely linked to the business practices of the combination and purchase of corporations. From the creation of the combined entity of Warner-Lambert in 1955, to the purchase of Warner-Lambert by Pfizer in 2000, to the recent acquisition of Wyeth, pharmaceutical and biotech companies have expanded their pipelines, portfolios, and sales forces through mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

Mergers and Acquisitions have defined the landscape of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, both historically and today. The strategic targeting behind corporate acquisitions, as well as mergers, are focused on intellectual property, sales force efficiency, streamlining research & development, and reorganizing other key business areas.
