Merck, in fact, epitomizes the ideological
nature--the pragmatic idealism--of highly
visionary companies. Our research
showed that a fundamental element in
the "ticking clock" of a visionary
company is a core ideology--core values
and a sense of purpose beyond just
making money--that guides and
inspires people throughout the
organization and remains relatively fixed
for long periods of time.

Merck is one of world's biggest
pharmaceutical companies. It originated
in Germany late in the seventeenth
century with operations in the United
States starting in the late nineteenth
century. As a business, Merck pursues
profitable ventures; however, they have
established an impressive track record of
charitable giving with hundreds of
millions in donations.
