Decentralisation: A Strength
The McNeil name has been associated with the manufacturing and sale of pharmaceutical products since 1870, when Robert McNeil opened his first retail drug outlet in Pennsylvania. Growing as a producer of prescription pharmceuticas, McNeil Laboratories, lnc. was incorporated in the U.S. in 1933, and became a member of the Johnson & Johnson family of companies in 1959. McNeil Consumer Helathcare began operations in Canada in an existing administrative Johnson & Johnson facility in Guelph, Ontario in 1980.
McNeil Consumer Healthcare (nonprescription pharmaceutical products) in Guelph, Ontario is a member of the Johnson & Johnson family of companies in Canada.
An important difference between Johnson and most other companies - is the concept of decentralised management. Instead of operating as one large multi-billion dollar corporation, Johnson & Johnson is operated as 190 smaller companies, each focused on a specific medical or product franchise and/or geographic area, with each affiliate generating multiple options for growth. Through decentralisation we combine the advantages of being big with the agility and focus of smaller firms. Decentralisation enables each company to stay close to its customer, maintain short lines of communication with customers and employees, and accelerate the development of talent. The Johnson & Johnson - Merck Consumer Pharmaceuticals company also operates from our Woodlawn Road facility in Guelph.
On the basis of the above paragraph, define Decentralised Organisation.
