Onlineresurser: The Tamiflu case puts students in the uncomfortable position of Hoffmann-La Roche, a pharmaceutical company which owns a key antiviral drug Tamiful that if taken within 48 hours of infection from the new H5N1 virus or bird flu dramatically increases the chances of survival. Students are forced to weigh the benefits of short-term profit maximization against the probability that a highly uncertain event could impact the business severely through nonmarket dynamics.
