Abstract

A report containing information about three of the top medical manufacturing companies in the world - Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic, Inc . Resources have been gathered and employees in key positions from each company have been interviewed to obtain the most current and accurate information. Interviewees were asked what factors contribute to their company's success. These factors were then explored more explicitly through a variety of publications, and the results are included in this report. In today's competitive market, companies must keep current with the market trends and be flexible and open to changing and/or improving their practices in order to remain successful. It has been found that although the main focuses of each company may be similar, the processes by which they strive to meet their goals are quite unique.
