From the Paper
"James Weldon Johnson's The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man is a book of irony upon irony. Not a true autobiography but a novel based loosely on the author's life, the book portrays the life of a man of mixed black and white heritage who undergoes a series of unexpected reversals of consciousness largely based on his racial experiences. The protagonist appears to be white and is raised as a white of some socioeconomic privilege. His primary awakenings take him from his white upbringing into the world of blacks, where he comes to recognize and appreciate his black heritage, and finally back to the white world after his abandonment of that black heritage. Ironically, however, this series of awakenings leaves the protagonist as confused about his identity at the end of the book as he was in the beginning. The bulk of the book's ironies are rooted in the protagonist's almost.."

From the Paper
"James Turner Johnson and George Weigel, in Just War and the Gulf War, present a reasonable argument that the Gulf War, from the point of view of those prosecuting the war against Iraq, was indeed a just war, according to the moral criteria of that tradition. At the same time, the authors are not naive about the victory and its results. They point out that "the only peace that can be achieved in this region is one limited to that defined by international law, not a 'new order' that will be extraordinarily difficult to bring into being" (40). This is important to note because it emphasizes that the just war doctrine should be applied to each war individually. The authors are not saying, in other words, that any threat to peace in the Middle East, for example, should be answered by the kind of international effort posed in the war against Iraq. "

Johnson & Johnson, 2005.
This paper discusses the Johnson & Johnson company especially its major brand-drug Tylenol.

Abstract
This paper explains that, since the 1885 partnership of the Johnson brothers, Johnson & Johnson has had a remarkable growth, world-wide especially, after World War II, when a plan of decentralizing operations was introduced, dividing the consumer market under the brand Johnson & Johnson and the professional markets under the current Ethicon brand label. The author points out that the Tylenol product not only has had problem with product tampering, which led to the introduction of tamper-proof packaging, but also this drug is deemed as having a narrower range between therapeutic and toxic than any other non-prescription drug especially for children. The paper concludes that, today, Johnson & Johnson is (1) a stable company with acceptable growth, but not as venturesome or dynamic in product innovations as some of its rivals and (2) is know as a family-friendly place to work with opportunities, especially for women and minorities.
From the Paper
"Saachi & Saatchi, one of the world's largest advertising agencies, handles some of Johnson & Johnson's consumer products advertising. Tylenol continues its campaign to promote its products as being used and recommended by health care professionals and used in hospitals more than any other "pain reliever". Pepcid AC has a strong campaign, positioned against other antacids as being able to be taken BEFORE a meal, as well as after. Feminine hygiene products are advertised most frequently in soap operas and other programming, aimed at women, of course. It is likely that in the coming year, the Nicorette brand anti-smoking products will increase their coverage, being outspent by rival Nicoderm. Rumors of a Nicorette product (perhaps a chewing gum) aimed at helping teens to stop smoking are not confirmed by the company."

Abstract
This paper is a stock analysis of Johnson & Johnson, Inc. and their efforts at reducing costs, increasing market share, meeting their shareholders and stakeholders as well as industry expectations while still fulfilling the very high levels of quality demanded by their customers. The author uses the Capital Asset Pricing Model, which takes into consideration the inherent risk that is associated with any investment and the rates of return, to determine that Johnson & Johnson's return on investment must be greater than a return of 6.07 percent. The paper concludes that, through new acquisitions, novel business strategies and a regular migration to cheaper labor pools, Johnson & Johnson Inc has become a strong force to be reckoned with in the highly competitive major drugs and healthcare industry; the author recommends a buy order at $60.

From the Paper
"The company has a long history of innovation and success. The founders created the first 'ready-made, ready-to-use surgical dressings' and initiated the way for 'application of the theory of antiseptic wound treatment' in the mid-1880's. These new products and services concepts literally reduced the threat of infection and disease in postoperative victims and helped save many lives in the early days of modern medicine. "The story begins with the discoveries of Sir Joseph Lister, a noted English surgeon, who identified airborne germs as a source of infection in the operating room. He called them, with grim aptness, the "invisible assassins." Medical science was beginning to understand, however imperfectly, the need for greater care in protecting the wound area."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"JNJ's move into markets that require more sophistication in drug development and production is also exemplified by their move into the market for medications to treat Schizophrenia, an area of their business that made up 18% of total 2006 pharmaceutical revenues. The anemia market is another source of challenge for the company as price erosion has been necessary to stem market share losses. We assume revenue erosion in the mid-single digits over the next 3 years with continued competition from Amgen and some modest negative effects from Roche's Cera, expected to launch in May 2007. The anemia franchise (Procrit/Eprex) made up 14% of JNJ's pharmaceutical sales in 2006.
The MD&D division has enjoyed industry leadership, particularly at the company's Cordis business. This previously fast-growing business made up 20% of JNJ's MD&D sales in 2006 and a significant proportion of its profit. Noteworthy competition from Boston Scientific, Abbott, and Medtronic is likely to erode market share beginning in 2007, driving Cordis sales declines in the range of 4% to 19% in 2007-10. The Conor acquisition is expected to be successful.The Consumer division should benefit from the recent acquisition of Pfizer's consumer line."

From the Paper
"Johnson and Johnson does business within the healthcare sector and has industry membership in the major drug field. Because of the nature of this industry and the risk involved with drug manufacture, it can be very difficult to gage and predict its performance over time. Right now the drug industry is suffering the fallout from the recall of Celebrex. There are also other warnings being recently about other drugs such as Strattera. There has been much media scrutiny of the FDA and its prior approval of drugs like Accutane. What does this mean for the market and its companies? For the future, it may mean increased drug testing, which can be extremely costly, and time consuming."

Abstract
This paper argues that Johnson & Johnson is a prime example of a company directed by "virtue ethics." As evidenced by the Tylenol crises, J&J executives do not resort to a moral calculus (Utilitarianism) or a deontological (rule-based) method of ethical decision making (Kant). The paper evaluates the company in terms of corporate control devices, stakeholder theory, the CSR pyramid, Kohlberg's theory of moral development and ethical theory.

"When all was said and done the recall of Tylenol* alone cost Johnson & Johnson over $100 million. Prior to the crisis, Tylenol held a 37% market share, outselling its four nearest competitors combined. Within weeks after the crisis its market share had dropped to 7%. When asked about the future of Tylenol, Madison Avenue guru Jerry Della Femina told a New York Times reporter "I don't think they (J&J) can ever sell another product under that name.""

"On the basis of information provided by Hoover's (2003), in 1885, in Brunswick, NJ, James and Edward Mead Johnson founded their medical products company and were soon joined by their brother, Robert in 1886. Robert had developed an antiseptic surgical dressing that he wanted to have produced through the company. This represented the beginnings of one of the leading companies in a multitude of industries, including pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical devices and diagnostics manufacturing, and consumer products manufacturing. As Johnson & Johnson moved into the 20th century, the company continued to develop and manufacture products that would long come to be associated its' name."

Abstract
This paper explains that when the crisis with Tylenol happened, in the 1980s, people were less in tune with public relations and the ramifications. The writer examines how the company dealt with the crisis and concludes that had this happened today, the results would have been far worse for the company.
From the Paper
"Johnson and Johnson has been a very broadly based organization that has been manufacturing health care products since a very long time. It started its footsteps as a child in the mid 1880s with the production of ready-to-use, ready-made surgical dressing. It was the first company to have applied the theory of wound treatment by use of antiseptics. With its application, the chances of infection in postoperative patients reduced greatly. General Robert Wood Johnson wrote the Company's Credo in 1943 which explained the responsible approach of Johnson and Johnson in carrying out their business. It states that the Company's initial most responsibility is to serve the people who make use of their services and products. Second in their priority list comes the employees followed by the environment and community and the last being the stockholders. This shows that Company had aimed to serve the consumers and wished to provide them with the best. It had also envisioned that if the first three priorities were met, the last one i.e. the stockholders, would be fulfilled automatically. "The philosophy at Johnson & Johnson is, 'All accidents and injuries are preventable. An accident is the end result of a unique chain of events and conditions. The role of all Johnson & Johnson employees is to foresee these acts and intercept them before they occur,' says Van Houten" (Smith, 2003). Health and safety are of utmost importance to Johnson and Johnson and they do not allow factors such as profits, sales and production to compromise the safety and health issues. During 1944, Johnson and Johnson became public from a privately held organization. Johnson and Johnson later realized its need to expand and diversify its business and during the 1950s, it entered into pharmaceuticals and later on produced Tylenol, a well known pain killer."

"In 1982, the Johnson and Johnson Corporation suffered a major blow when one of their top selling products, Tylenol, was laced with cyanide while on store shelves and resulted in seven deaths in the Chicago area. The company responded immediately to the problem and launched a highly successful public relations campaign which averted any long-lasting damage to the company's image. On the other hand, after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, Exxon responded so poorly and so slowly that the company still has not recovered its public image. This paper will look at the two disasters, how each company responded, and suggest a public relations strategy which will work for any major corporation placed in this situation.
In March of 1989, the Exxon Valdez, an oil tanker, ran aground on Bligh Reef, dumping 11 million gallons of crude oil..."

"Johnson & Johnson/Tylenol
Introduction
The Tylenol case represents perhaps the worst sort of dilemma a company can face. Through no fault of its own, Johnson & Johnson was faced with the destruction of one of its most important brand names. An unknown assailant used the product to murder a number of people at random, and the story was one of the most widely covered events in media history. Within the first week it is estimated that more than 90 percent of the American public were aware of what had happened (Wall Street Journal, October 4, 1982). This situation left the product in a very bad position - no one wanted to use Tylenol in case there had been some tampering with the ..."
