The Business of Bioscience: What goes into making a Biotechnology Product (repost)

In The Business of Bioscience, What goes into making a Biotechnology Product you will be introduced to many key aspects of the biotech and product development process. This includes: the characteristics of a biotech entrepreneur, how to establish an organization, raising all forms of capital, selecting development milestones, dealing with personnel issues, the significance and impact of a business model, market strategies and impact on raising money, regulatory compliance issues, and why you must manage differently at different life-stages of the organization. I have included background information at the beginning of each chapter so as not to take for granted the readers’ understanding of all subject matter; yet we quickly move to in-depth discussions of these subjects so that those more experience in these areas will also benefit. Knowledge is essential for success and most biotech entrepreneurs are very knowledgeable. However, a distinguishing difference between a good biotech leader and a great biotech leader is having wisdom—the ability to apply specific knowledge at the right time, in the right situation. This aspect is an overarching theme of this book.
