Riordan Manufacturing is already a diverse company with experience in fields such as medical, household electrical (fans), and plastic bottles. Additional diversity would add competencies to their manufacturing base. Merging with or acquiring other businesses would address internal initiatives, such as the initiative regarding the development and sale of complementary medical devices and the extension of design and capability through collaborative co-design. Typical synergies of a merger or acquisition, such as economies of scales where the infrastructure cost and efficiencies of the facilities can be spread among more businesses, increased market power acquiring a larger portion of a given market, or tax benefits can be experienced by Riordan Manufacturing. A merger or acquisition would allow Riordan Manufacturing to depreciate assets gained from the transaction.
Summary In summary, this research found that there was some benefit of using Vitamin C for improving hemoglobins in patients with ESRD receiving hemodialysis. It also showed that using vitamin C decreased the amount of epogen needed in dialysis patients. This topic would benefit in longer clinical trials with larger groups of participants to study more accurately the effects Vitamin C use has in relation to hyperoxalemia in dialysis
Obama said he will lower the drug cost by allowing safe medicines from other countries, increasing the use of generic brand names, and taking on drug companies that block cheaper generic medicines from the market.

This in return will prompt the patient to alert his or her physician.
Consumers are more interesting in the way technology has advanced with in the health care era. Patients are aware that all medical information is safely kept in a computer, but are concern of possible typos or errors that happens with the use of computers. On the flip side consumers understand that retrieving the health information can be done faster for test results and other important information that may usually take weeks to retrieve. Consumers now know it is easier for them to request refills on medication, and sent to the pharmacy quicker. Consumers realize medical providers are gaining a better way to manage the medical information, which will help improve the health care industry, and provide positive medical care.
