Robert J. DeSalvo Papers Business Combinations in the Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical Industries 1944 - 1990 Collection #107 Abstract Robert J. DeSalvo’s research focused on business combinations (acquisitions, mergers, and joint ventures in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. This topic was the basis for his master’s thesis in pharmacy administration at the University of Pittsburgh and continued as a life-long interest. This collection consists of two series of notebooks that Dr. DeSalvo developed to record relevant business combinations. The first series records acquisitions, proposed acquisitions, mergers, and joint ventures for the period of 1944 –1990 in an alphabetical arrangement. The information on these entries is cumulative so that the history of an organization is collected in one place. The second series of notebooks is arranged in chronological blocks. The information is arranged alphabetically by the name of the acquirer. The name of the acquired (merged), type of combination (acquisition, proposed acquisition, joint venture) and the date is also provided. The information is cross-referenced between the two series so that the researcher can approach the information by the name of the parent company or chronologically. Dr. DeSalvo used this resource for many of his publications as well as his master’s thesis. A copy of these publications and his thesis make up the remainder of the collection.
