This volume analyzes the dynamics and interactive processes among
the players (individuals, institutions, and organizations/firms)
that have constituted and legitimized the development of the
biotechnology industries. The unit of analysis is small
entrepreneurial firms developing biotechnological products and
processes. What types of strategies are small entrepreneurs
pursuing in order to create markets for their new products and
processes, and how have specific strategies emerged? The primary
interest is the network process through which the technological
field and the development of institutions and routines evolve and
co-evolve.
The theoretical contribution of the book is its focus on the
development of the concept of networks. From being regarded as a
relative static concept the book transforms the concept into a
dynamic concept of networking. The dynamic view on the creation and
development of new technologies through network formations is
linked to the concept of strategy that is used throughout the book.
Hence the strategies are developed along with the creation of
technological knowledge, and it is hoped that the diffusion of this
specific knowledge will bring new actors into the technological
arena or community.
This book will be useful to the academic community, those studying
the formation of networks, strategic management, organizational
behavior, and management of technology, as well as business
observers with a specific interest in the evolution of the
biotechnology industry.
