Request for Question Clarification by bobbie7-ga on 27 Sep 2005 13:04 PDT

Would the top pharmaceutical companies by global pharma sales serve your purpose?

---

Clarification of Question by agillette-ga on 27 Sep 2005 13:35 PDT

yes, top global sales by pharma would be nice; however I need the
question broken down by region also. In the US, which companies were
the most prosperous. In Europe, which companies were the most
prosperous for those years also. So basically, as whole which
companies were the most prosperous should be a part of the question.
As should, by region "which were the more prosperous.

Thank You!

Let me clarify my last clarification--I was on the phone when I wrote it.

Yes, I would like to know the top pharmaceutical companies by global
pharma sales. I would also like to have that broken down by region, so
"in America, which company yielded the highest profits from sales?" In
Europe as a whole, or in [and/or](Germany, France, England), which
companies yielded the highest profits from sales?

Thankyou!

I'm afraid it's quite difficult to known exactly what you're asking
(though you seem to be aksing for a lot!).

Do you want rankings by sales?  Or by profits?

Do you want the top companies in the world?  Or in regions?  Or in
countries?  (and if regions/countries, you'll have to specify what you
mean, since a company's HQ and their sales can be in different
places).

Are you expecting us to identify the top three companies?  Or do you want more?

Lastly, for a question priced at $20, you might have to reign in the
number of years/companies/places you can expect to receive information
for.

Perhaps you can restate your question from the top, so we can do our
best to assist you.

Thanks,
