The late 90's and early twentieth century were periods of massive restructuring
across the entire the chemical industry. This included mergers between integrated
oil companies, forays into life sciences by diversified chemical companies
and partnerships between pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology firms.
This report examines the industry structure by segment, identifies the economic
forces driving this restructuring, evaluates the success of previous strategies
and suggests ways of prospering in this new environment. It is intended for
business leaders and other strategists in chemical based companies to help
develop or challenge their existing business plans
