‘Team

chemicals and pharmaceuticals company in Germany. The headquarter is located in
Leverkusen. Currently,

Korea. It was founded in 1989. The officeis located inDongjak-gu, Seoul, and
there are currently about 740 workers on duty.
'Science For A Better
Life' is the goal and mission of Bayer. The company's corporate values consist
of four types of leadership, Integrity, Flexibility, and Efficiency.
Company history
Bayer was founded in 1863
by Johann Friedrich Weskott and Friedrich Bayer. At first, it started out as a
small dye manufacturer. The product that made Bayer the most famous company is
aspirin.Bayer invented aspirin for the first time in the world in 1897.In 1957,
Bayer merged with another company to enter the petrochemical sector.In the
2000s, they are still putting a lot of effort into the field of life science,
as well agricultural products.
Business Areas
Business areas consist of pharmaceuticals,
consumer health, crop science, animal health total four business areas.The Pharmaceuticals
division focuses on special medicine, especially those related to the heart,
arteries, and veins, as well as women's health, anti-cancer drugs, and eye-related
disease treatments. The Consumer Health division is mainly responsible for
general medicine and develops products such as skin disease treatments,
vitamins, fever, pain, anti-inflammatory drugs, and cosmetics.The Crop science
division manages projects related to agriculture, such as crop protection
projects, environmental science, registration of seed attributes, and planting
and growing seeds and buds of plants. They also develop and manage the most
appropriate products, taking into account various environments and conditions.The
Animal health division studies the prevention and treatment of diseases in pets
and livestock and is providing innovative treatments and solutions.
Products
Bayer's products are
classified into three categories. The first is Bayer's first business area,
general and professional medicine. The second is, unexpectedly animal medicine
products. And the last is agricultural chemistry which has recently begun to
draw attention with M&A and business growth. There is also a considerable
number of Bayer's various products in the domestic (Korea) market. So I chose 3
popular products that can introduce Bayer best. We will focus on the three
sectors that I classified earlier.
First of all, it is
aspirin that everyone would have taken when they had a headache or pain. As we
explained earlier Bayer was the first company to develop aspirin. The second
one is Berocca, which has been popular in recent advertisements. Berocca is a
type of vitamin that you put in water and is known to help you recover from
fatigue. And the last is a product called Bepanthen Ointment. This is a kind of
ointment that is applied to the skin. Next is animal medicine that was the
second sector. Unfortunately there was not much information related to animal
medicines. However the preference for products in Korea is not known to be
high. The last sector is agricultural chemistry which is also low in Korea.
However it is a business area that Bayer has recently increased its investment
with sales growth of 12 percent over the past three years in Europe.
Other information
Next part is not well
known information of Bayer. Bayer was a war criminal company. During the Nazi
era, they made poison gas and conducted several biological experiments. But
they reflected on their actions and are now helping society a lot. And Bayer is
one of the top six conglomerates in Germany. It is also the largest among
pharmaceutical companies. Last Bayer created German football club Bayer
Leverkusen. Friedrich Buyers the owner of Bayer founded Bayer Leverkusen in
1904. It is a prestigious club in a long history and is gaining huge popularity
in Germany. It is also a friendly team for Koreans because it was a team that
belonged to Cha Bum geun long ago and Son Heung min not long ago.
Internship
The last information in
our presentation is about internships. Bayer regularly conducts internships for
college students every year. There are four parts (Marketing, Market Access,
Site Management, H.R) typical. Each part has a different set of things to prepare
But in all four parts English is the most important.
