Hospitals on Park Road

Journal: Emerging Economies Cases Journal (2023): 25166042231172894. 

Abstract: This case adopts a dialectical method to illustrate firm-level strategies and competition in the Indian for-profit hospital sector. The case clearly contextualizes its setting within the developing country scenario and against a backdrop of under-provision in healthcare delivery. The authors compare growth models, horizontal and vertical integration strategies, mergers and acquisitions plans, geographical expansion patterns and physician engagement models of two leading hospital chains in the Indian hospital sector anonymizing them and masking them as the ‘Hospitals on Park Road’.
