(Lack of Transparency Afflicts Oil Spill Response 2010) This problematic, because when there are restrictions and the company is slow to release information, it appears as if they have something to hide.
Pharmaceutical industries have to operate in an environment that is highly competitive and subject to a wide variety of internal and external constraints.
