Case: The alliance of community-based pharmacy owners of Puerto Rico: Challenging competition from US chains (C)
• Case questions:

- Does the Alliance represent an appropriate response to the issues facing pharmacy owners? Why?
- What other strategic options did pharmacy owners have (different from the Alliance)?
