Download or read book The Economic Dynamics of Modern Biotechnology written by Maureen D. McKelvey and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'All would agree that with more than 3, 000 new firms formed in Europe, Japan and the United States focused on biotechnology, and with elegant strides forward in our understanding of genetics, the genome, proteomics and other related fields, a true intellectual, social and industrial revolution is in the making. Maureen McKelvey et al provide fascinating data on firm formation, case studies of emerging business models and cross-regional and national comparisons. The work is a useful beginning in our understanding of an emerging phenomenon.' - James M. Utterback, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US This book offers a novel insight into the economic dynamics of modern biotechnology, using examples from Europe to reflect global trends. The authors apply theoretical insight to a fundamental enigma of the modern learning society, namely, how and why the development of knowledge and ideas interact with market processes and the formation of industries and firms.
Book Synopsis The Economic and Social Dynamics of Biotechnology by : John de la Mothe
Download or read book The Economic and Social Dynamics of Biotechnology written by John de la Mothe and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `Biotechnology' - the integrated use of biochemistry, microbiology, and chemical engineering for the technological application of the capabilities of microbes and cultured tissue cells - is quickly becoming pervasive and challenging, rapidly developing both new techniques and industries. The Economic and Social Dynamics of Biotechnology - a joint project between Statistics Canada, the Program of Research on Innovation, Management and Economy (PRIME) at the University of Ottawa, and CIRANO at the University of Quebec in Montreal - brings together economic, social, and statistical views on the dynamics of this set of emerging technologies. It examines the costs as well as the benefits - the challenges as well as the choices - of the rapidly expanding science-based world of biodiversity, biopharmaceuticals, and bioinformatics, and it provides suggestions for future work and research. This project fits into an ongoing research program at Statistics Canada to develop meaningful indicators for science, technology, and innovation in a technology-intensive economy. This book tells the story of the inner workings of innovation systems, technological systems, and competence blocs in the production, use, and diffusion of knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern biotechnology has come into prominence since 1980. It relates to a set of techniques that involve manipulation or change of the genetic inheritance of living organisms including plants. The primary advantage of this technology is that it can target drugs and pesticides to the exact location of the human body or plants where they are needed.

Book Synopsis Trading in Genes by : Ricardo Melendez-Ortiz
Download or read book Trading in Genes written by Ricardo Melendez-Ortiz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few scientific developments have given rise to as much controversy as biotechnology. Numerous groups are united in their opposition, expressing concern over environmental and health risks, impacts on rural livelihoods, the economic dominance of multinational companies and the ethical implications of crossing species boundaries. Among the supporters of the technology are those that believe in its potential to enhance food security, further economic development, increase productivity and reduce environmental pressures. As a result, countries - and sectors within countries - find themselves at odds with each other while potential opportunities for development offered by the use of biotechnology are seized or missed, and related risks go unmanaged. This book, a unique interdisciplinary collection of perspectives from the developing world, examines the ongoing debate. Writing for the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development, leading experts address issues such as diffusion of technology, intellectual property rights, the Cartagena Protocol, impacts of international trade, capacity building and biotechnology research and regulation. With the most recent and relevant examples from around the world, Trading in Genes offers the reader a single-volume overview of the connections between biotechnology, trade and sustainability that is both wide-ranging and thorough

Book Synopsis Biotechnology and Telecommunications Innovation by : Maureen D. McKelvey
Download or read book Biotechnology and Telecommunications Innovation written by Maureen D. McKelvey and published by . This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This special issue of Innovation: Management, Policy & Practice (ISBN 0-9750436-7-6) addresses 'Conditions for Innovation in Biotechnology and Telecommunication'. Each article addresses one or both of these emerging technologies as well as aspects of innovation processes, and each thereby contributes to the growing literature on technologies. The editors have worked extensively on modern biotechnology and telecommunication, and therefore we also have broader ambitions beyond the selection of individual papers to be published. Taken as a whole, this special issue aims to contribute towards specifying the similarities and differences during innovation processes in emerging technologies. This piece provides some background information on the editors, the general problems and three themes to be addressed in this special issue, before introducing each subsequent article.This special issue is the result of a longer debate about how and why modern biotechnology, ICT, and telecommunication develop and impact on society, among us and among many other researchers. Both of us, Erik Bohlin and Maureen McKelvey, work at the School of Technology Management & Economics, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, where we have the great fortune to have many excellent students and colleagues interested in innovation and interested in these particular technologies. Earlier versions of papers for this special issue were presented at a workshop we organized at Chalmers (May 19-20, 2003) entitled 'Innovations and Entrepreneurship in Biotech/ Pharmaceuticals and in IT/ Telecommunication'.1 Hence, as guest editors, we wish to gratefully acknowledge the financial support from Chalmers to stimulate research and teaching related to management & economic issues in telecom and biotech.One reason for putting together a special issue is that we are convinced that comparing and contrasting conditions for innovation is a crucial issue for researchers, government policy-makers, firm managers and others associated with emerging technologies. To what extent can general principles be identified for this type of innovation process? To what extent can general principles be identified for innovations as drivers of a particular type of economic dynamics? To what extent can each emerging technology be understood as a unique historical case? Deciding about the range of possible policy interventions requires a re-assessment of the extent to which emerging technologies are influenced by general principles, as opposed to the vagrancies of historical circumstances. Our ambition with devoting a special issue to modern biotechnology and telecommunication is to encourage others - and ourselves - to move beyond the details of innovation in specific technologies to strive for more systematic and comprehensive comparisons.

Book Synopsis Measuring the Contribution of Modern Biotechnology to the Canadian Economy by : Ricardo de Avillez
Download or read book Measuring the Contribution of Modern Biotechnology to the Canadian Economy written by Ricardo de Avillez and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of modern biotechnology in agriculture, medicine, and industry has increased dramatically since the 1970s. Despite its growing importance, few efforts have been made so far to estimate the economic contribution of modern biotechnology to the Canadian economy. This report provides an overview of biotechnology activities in Canada, and, using an income-based approach, estimates that biotechnology activities accounted for approximately $15 billion in 2005, equivalent to 1.19 per cent of Canada's GDP in that year. The report also forecasts that the role of biotechnology in the economy will increase substantially in the next twenty years, representing between 2.6 per cent and 6.0 per cent of Canada's GDP in 2030.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adding yet another dimension to the debate on biotechnology that already encompasses technology and ethics, four Canadian economists and a Welsh scholar of management look at how the field may bring about significant economic upheavals, focusing on the agrifood industrial complex and specifically avoiding any consideration of human medical and pharmaceutical aspects. The topics include intellectual property, the environment, consumer issues, who gets biotechnology rents, and international issues. c. Book News Inc.

Book Synopsis Elgar Companion to Neo-Schumpeterian Economics by : Horst Hanusch
Download or read book Elgar Companion to Neo-Schumpeterian Economics written by Horst Hanusch and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 1229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Elgar Companion to Neo-Schumpeterian Economics is a cutting-edge collection of specially commissioned contributions highlighting not only the broad scope but also the common ground between all branches of this prolific and fast developing field of economics. For 25 years economists have been investigating industrial dynamics under the heading of neo-Schumpeterian economics, which has itself become a mature and widely acknowledged discipline in the fields of innovation, knowledge, growth and development economics. The Elgar Companion to Neo-Schumpeterian Economics surveys the achievements of the most visible scholars in this area. The contributions to the Companion give both a brief survey on the various fields of neo-Schumpeterian economics as well as insights into recent research at the scientific frontiers. The book also illustrates the potential of neo-Schumpeterian economics to overcome its so far self-imposed restriction to the domains of technology driven industry dynamics, and to become a comprehensive approach in economics suited for the analysis of development processes in all economic domains. Integrating both the public sector and financial markets, the book focusses on the co-evolutionary processes between the different domains. As a roadmap for the development of a comprehensive neo-Schumpeterian theory, the Companion will be an invaluable source of reference for researchers in the fields of industrial dynamics and economic growth, and academics and scholars of economics generally. PhD students will find the Companion an indispensable general introduction to the field of neo-Schumpeterian economics. It will also appeal to politicians and consultants engaged in national and international policy as the Companion deals with the highly important and ever topical phenomena of economic development.
