Marketing Plan
Research on the Entry Country - India - and the company's products for PAH (chosen company is United Therapeutics Corporation)
I need help researching for two things only because I did the segmenting, promotion, still doing the product, and done with distribution. So I need researching on the ff only:

Although either of these two would make excellent future partners for United Therapeutics, their strengths do differ which, in turn, creates a difference in what they can provide or offer to UT (United Therapeutics).
