The biotechnology industry across the globe is growing dramatically
in line with rapidly emerging scientific and technological
developments. This book explores both the theoretical and practical
aspects of entrepreneurship in the biotechnology industry, focusing
on the innovation processes underpinning success for new
biotechnology firms (NBFs). It argues that biotechnology is at a
crossroads: to date the science has been solid, yet commercial
success remains elusive, and that it will be the commercial success
of NBFs which will dictate the long term viability of this crucial
industry. The authors go on to examine the roles played by both
entrepreneurship and innovation in the competitiveness of
biotechnology companies through a focus on: intellectual property
strategies, product development, valuing biotechnology ventures,
funding innovation and R&D, alliances and networking, changing
industry structures evidenced through the shifting value chain and
the impact of globalization on the changing industry and
organizational life cycles. International case studies with a focus
on human biosciences support the important theoretical developments
at the heart of this book. Innovation and Entrepreneurship in
Biotechnology offers original and valuable insights to researchers,
academics and students as well as to practitioners involved with
innovation and entrepreneurship in the field of biotechnology.

The contributors to this book explore the role and importance of
qualitative, interpretist research in the dynamic field of
enterprise. They establish the link between the innovative nature
of small enterprise and the need to utilise research methodologies,
which are themselves innovative. The book highlights the fact that
enterprise research has the advantage of sufficient youth as a
research discipline to permit a wide scope for new and innovative
research studies. Probing this unexplored terrain therefore
requires exploratory research methods supported by inductive
research techniques. These methods and techniques are examined in
detail: topics covered are diverse, ranging from a review of
quantitative research methodologies and the integration of
methodological philosophies and approaches; to the application of
two novel analytical techniques. Convergent interviewing, action
research, case research and marketing research for isolated SMEs
are all also explored in depth. This book will provide academics,
researchers and students with a cohesive body of material on the
use of interpretist research techniques in all areas of enterprise
research.
