Serving Markets in Three Business Segments
Market-focused business segments with a cascading management structure
Our Family of Companies includes more than 250 companies in 57 countries
around the world. These companies are organized into three business segments—Consumer, Medical Devices and Diagnostics, and
Pharmaceutical. Each business segment is comprised of
franchises and therapeutic categories.
While each operating company’s management is responsible for directing its
business, a unique system of management alignment provides
strategic coordination and guidance for the businesses in each segment.
Many of our employees find that the breadth of product categories and the
collaboration that takes place across and between our companies creates
outstanding opportunities to advance their careers across businesses or product
platforms.
Products from companies in our Consumer segment touch the lives of more than
a billion people around the world each year. They range from leading brand
names that consumers have known and trusted for decades to innovative new skin
care and nutritional products.
They include landmark brands, products, and information targeting baby care,
skin and hair care, oral care, nutritionals, pain relief, topical care, and
much more. These products help us achieve our vision of BRINGING SCIENCE TO THE
ART OF HEALTHY LIVING™.

Overseeing each business segment is a Group Operating Committee, which
- Provides global strategic leadership for all the franchises within the
segment
- Makes strategic investment decisions among and within franchises in the
segment
- Selects lead geographic markets
- Ensures strategic alignment between product portfolios
The next level of leadership is the global management of each franchise
within a segment. The franchise management team
- Has responsibility for the selection and positioning strategy of product
categories within the franchise
- Deals with critical issues affecting product technology
- Identifies success models that can be shared across the organization
- Tracks the vitality of the franchise over time
Product franchises are grouped within one of our principal global
businesses. Many of our businesses develop, produce, and market the products
that consumers and health care professionals have come to know and trust. Other
businesses provide specialized services that are shared by other Johnson &
Johnson companies.
Finally, at the foundation of each business segment are autonomous operating
companies where people are closest to the customer and to the business. Each
operating company is responsible for helping to grow profitable brands. Leaders
within these companies are responsible for developing and implementing business
plans, budgets, forecasts, resource allocation, product launches, and
performance tracking.
