Biotechnology in Comparative Perspective (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780415283434)

The biotechnology industry is an extremely important sector in the developed world's economies.

This interesting book covers such themes as: * the role of small firms in US biotechnology clusters * geographic clustering in the UK * case studies involving the sectors in a cross-section of European companies With such international contributions, this book will be of interest to students and academics involved in Industrial Organization, Innovation Studies and Business Organization. Not only that, professionals with an interest in international business will also find this to be a very useful read.
