Abstract
This study aimed to identify the motives that lie behind the
internationalization of the Palestinian pharmaceutical companies, and
determining the most important external and internal environmental factors
that impact and guide these companies in the selection of international
markets, and since there is not much information concerning this
phenomenon, this study shall follow exploratory curriculum.
Data of this study was collected from secondary sources such as books and
relevant previous studies, and primary sources based on face-to-face
interviews and via e-mail.
The study was applied on three Palestinian pharmaceutical companies entered
the international markets, and these companies were Beit Jala Pharmaceutical
Company, Jepharm, and Pharmacare ltd.
The study found that the threats that the Palestinian pharmaceutical
companies face in the local market such as small market size and tough
competition, in addition to surplus of pharmaceutical production in the
domestic market form the most important motives that guide these companies
to international markets.
It also found that the economic factors (per capita income, infrastructure, and
exchange rate stability) in the international markets were of varying impact on
these companies in selecting international markets, where the effect of each
factor depends on the company's policy and objectives.
The study found that the political and legal factors in the global market were
the most important determinants and requirements that impact the selection of
international markets by Palestinian pharmaceutical companies, whereas the
cultural and social factors in the international markets do not impact the
selection.
