My first reaction to Glaxo's approach was not positive; being the sixth largest company in the world, the company has certain corporate social responsibilities towards people. It is not always fruitful to be capitalistic since it can harm the company's customer base. Operating in the health sector, it is always profitable for the company to research and come up with a cure, formulate a product and recover the expenses with profits from the market. With regards to legal grounds, the company will not be questioned since sharing the data for research is not a problem until and unless there are prohibitions or rights against publicizing the data (Trusov et al, 2009).
