This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is aimed at providing a large audience, including practitioners, politicians and decision-makers, with useful insights in relation to innovation and entrepreneurship in the biotechnology industry. It offers an international perspective and a set of theoretical lenses to underline the roles and the effects of entrepreneurship and scientific innovation as key factors to support new firm emergence and to achieve and maintain competitiveness in this so important industry. Alain Fayolle, EM Lyon, CERAG Laboratory, France and Solvay Business School, Belgium 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many speak of the 21st Century as the Biotech Revolution. Biotechnology accelerator founders feel the industry holds great promise for creating new standards of health, prosperity and sustainability. Biotechnology accelerator programmes are now becoming increasingly prevalent and several are recognised as promising organisations for assisting the development of biotechnology companies. The New Zealand biotechnology industry could potentially benefit from the establishment of a biotechnology accelerator. Adopting a qualitative exploratory methodology, this study explored the key considerations for a biotechnology accelerator within a New Zealand context. This approach was chosen as there is minimal industry research and virtually no academic literature available on biotechnology accelerators. Secondary research reviewed three successful biotechnology accelerators: IndieBio, Biocity Accelerator and OneStart; then fourteen semi-structured interviews were carried out with industry members from the New Zealand biotechnology industry. The secondary findings of the research emphasised collaboration, mentorship, market validation and high intensity learning as keys to existing biotechnology accelerators. Primary findings highlighted the need to expose growing biotechnology companies to experienced individuals, a disconnection across players in the biotechnology industry and the requirement to further educate biotechnology companies on key factors of commercialisation in order develop their sophistication. Exploration of these themes allowed for five key considerations to be shaped, which address the topics of: communal working spaces, mentorship, international networks, commercialisation education and industry endorsement. The Richness, Reach and Receptivity framework provided a useful model to understand the mechanisms through which various aspects of the biotechnology industry and accelerators were affecting developing biotechnology companies. With proposed changes of aligning values and enforcement being added to the framework, the inter-organisational network theory was tailored to the research.

Book excerpt: The New Zealand (NZ) biotechnology sector has immense potential in becoming an economic powerhouse for the NZ economy. It is predicted that the industry has the potential to contribute $182 billion to NZ’s GDP in 2030 (OECD, 2009). Strengths of the sector include the most high quality science publications produced per capita, and adopting a focus on applied science. However, diminutive perceptions and awareness of the industry overseas in addition to scarce corporate associations with publications have led to several government reports outlining the need for increased globalisation in order to develop the sector further. A common theme in analysing the sector currently, outlines the need for more information availability and effective use of the internet. This research uses qualitative methodology to investigate the perspectives of NZ biotechnology industry members to determine the impact an online portal could have in benefiting the industry. The portal aims to address articulated issues prominent in the sector, which include geographic remoteness, awareness of the industry and access to capital and expertise. Semi-structured interviews were used to delve into industry members’ opinions and experience, in determining the potential impact an online portal could have on the sector. Literature on customer engagement was used to inform the basis of this thesis, as well as service dominant logic in designing the portal with industry members. Issues communicated throughout the interview process were transformed into drivers of necessity for the portal. Participants also expressed their expectations for a portal, by communicating features and functions they desired, which contributes in co-creating value within the portal. Key findings illustrated that industry members believed that the creation of an online portal could act as a ‘shop window’, advertising NZ companies’ capabilities both internally and to the rest of the world to increase awareness of the industry. Use of ‘Brand NZ’ was also explored, as many participants considered the effects of connecting the desire to visit NZ with the appeal of conducting business here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bay Area biotech cluster, San Diego Biotech and Biovalley are familiar to a majority of the population – even those individuals who are not experts in the field can recall the successes of these communities. All three cases have humble beginnings and over the decades, have created local job opportunities and new business formation ultimately resulting in economic growth. New Zealand biotechnology has world-class potential, ranking number four in overall biotechnology potential according to the Scientific Worldview and outcompeting its Australian counterpart ranked at number five. However, New Zealand's biotech performance still lags behind the city of Melbourne, a city that is usually compared with Auckland due to the similarity in size. ASX-listed biotechnology companies are always valued much higher and are greater in number. How can New Zealand use its potential to increase biotechnology output? This study explores the possibility of implementing a cluster strategy for the New Zealand biotechnology industry. A qualitative exploratory methodology was used to explore the design factors for a NZ biotech cluster. This methodology was appropriate since it is a new mode of inquiry that has previously not been investigated. A conceptual framework was developed from the literature review resulting in three design factors to be considered: specialised or diversified cluster, geographical and relational proximity and cluster formation considerations. Primary findings gathered the perspectives of twelve biotechnology industry members through semi-structured interviews. Secondary findings gathered international cluster examples and critical factors for cluster formation in NZ to support the primary findings. Overall, participants leaned towards a diversified cluster which was in contrast with secondary findings, and a desire for international integration. They also discussed current strengths of the industry in line with critical factors for cluster formation, weaknesses of policy initiatives and how best to engage the private sector in the vision. These three sources of information converged to form important discussions on how such a strategy would apply in the New Zealand biotechnology context, resulting in six recommended design factors: 1) a strategy in favour of specialised clusters, 2) the use of virtual communications for international integration, 3) investing in absorptive capacity, 4) developing strong cluster branding, 5) engaging the private sector as the leader and 6) encouraging the public sector to create initiatives that strive for quality, increased specificity and long-term thinking.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New biotechnology firms (NBFs) are fundamental to improving New Zealand's economic productivity. However, research has found that relatively few biotechnology firms survive long enough to make significant returns to the economy. Therefore it is imperative to explore the dynamics that affect firm development and growth particularly within the New Zealand context. There is also a need to conduct empirical research specifically at the firm level as much of the empirical research concentrates on broader industry level perspective. This thesis therefore aims to identify factors that NBFs should take into consideration to optimise firm survival and performance. This aim is accomplished by exploring the internal and external challenges that are perceived to impact firm growth and development. A multiple case study research design using semi-structured interviews and secondary data was used to identify these challenges within three New Zealand based biotechnology firms. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with top-level personnel each of whom had first-hand experience of firm development. Secondary data was also collected from company websites, market reports, industry reports, and prominent online new articles. The two sources of data were then triangulated to gain a broader perspective of the challenges at hand. The results indicate that the foremost internal challenges were related to skills and capabilities of the leader or chief executive officer (CEO) in guiding the development of the firm. The ability to harmonise science and business agendas, and integrating teamwork and human capabilities effectively to execute development milestones was another issue. Among other challenges identified were the absence of resource management strategies and risk management tools. Additionally, the external challenges identified suggest New Zealand may be difficult place to develop and grow biotechnology firms. The results lead to recommendations that may enable NBFs to identify strengths and weaknesses in their business strategies and implement measures to ensure effective execution of firm development activities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biotechnology has not stood still since 1991 when the first edition of Biotechnology - The Science and the Business was published. It was the first book to treat the science and business of technology as an integrated subject and was well received by both students and business professionals. All chapters in this second edition have been updated and revised and some new chapters have been introduced, including one on the use of molecular genetic techniques in forensic science. Experts in the field discuss a range of biotechnologies, including pesticides, the flavor and fragrance industry, oil production, fermentation and protein engineering. On the business side, subjects include managing, financing, and regulation of biotechnology. Some knowledge of the science behind the technologies is assumed, as well as a layperson's view of buying and selling. As with the first edition, it is expected that this book will be of interest to biotechnology undergraduates, postgraduates and those working in the industry, along with students of business, economics, intellectual property law and communications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My journey into this fascinating field of biotechnology started about 26 years ago at a small biotechnology company in South San Francisco called Genentech. I was very fortunate to work for the company that begat the biotech industry during its formative years. This experience established a solid foundation from which I could grow in both the science and business of biotechnology. After my fourth year of working on Oyster Point Boulevard, a close friend and colleague left Genentech to join a start-up biotechnology company. Later, he approached me to leave and join him in of all places – Oklahoma. He persisted for at least a year before I seriously considered his proposal. After listening to their plans, the opportunity suddenly became more and more intriguing. Finally, I took the plunge and joined this ent- preneurial team in cofounding and growing a start-up biotechnology company. Making that fateful decision to leave the security of a larger company was extremely difficult, but it turned out to be the beginning of an entrepreneurial career that forever changed how I viewed the biotechnology industry. Since that time, I have been fortunate to have cofounded two other biotechnology com- nies and even participated in taking one of them public. During my career in these start-ups, I held a variety of positions, from directing the science, operations, regulatory, and marketing components, to subsequently becoming CEO.

Download or read book Beyond Relocation written by Yahn-Zhih (James) Lin and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The commercialisation of innovative technologies is a key strategy for nations around the world from which economic prosperity can be derived. High-tech biotechnology is one area which has consistently been the focus of attention by many countries including New Zealand (NZ). Large amounts of investment from limited funds are usually invested by governments to help develop innovative biotechnology companies. When such companies relocate to another country, a sense of loss often ensues, particularly when public funding has been received. This study sought to understand how NZfounded biotech firms, particularly Dedicated Biotech Firms (DBFs), were relocating from NZ followed by an investigation into the main factors involved in their migration offshore through a qualitative research approach. Firm relocation is complex as it no longer necessarily entails moving physical operations from one location to another. Business functions have become increasingly disaggregated due to advances in communication and information technologies allowing partial relocations to occur. This study found that most NZ-founded DBFs undertook partial relocations. The reasons for relocation stemmed from difficulties in commercialising biotech in NZ. Issues of accessing capital to fund operations, availability of the right personnel and NZ's distance from international markets were the main points identified. Most of the factors were seen to converge on a lack of critical mass in NZ's biotech sector and concurrent cost-disadvantages in developing products and entering foreign markets. A requirement for large amounts of capital for commercialisation was found to be the most prominent feature increasing the likelihood of firms relocating from NZ. Recommendations to overcome the financial challenges of commercialising biotech in NZ included a shift in the investment behaviours of large institutional investment entities to buttress the shortage of capital during late development stages. Alternatively, Government investments could be targeted toward less risky biotech ventures leveraging off existing industries in which NZ is already globally competitive such as agriculture and food. Regardless of the changes that may eventuate, NZ's biotech sector still requires significant growth that can only be achieved organically over time.

Susan Marlow, International Small Business Journal The data and information presented in this work will be of particular interest to students and scholars of entrepreneurship or labor and women s studies. Recommended. General readers; upper-division undergraduate through professional collections. E.P. Hoffman, Choice Enterprising new firms drive economic growth, and women around the world are important contributors to that growth. As entrepreneurs, they seize opportunities, develop and deliver new goods and services and, in the process, create wealth for themselves, their families, communities, and countries. This volume explores the role women entrepreneurs play in this economic progress, highlighting the challenges they encounter in launching and growing their businesses, and providing detailed studies of how their experiences vary from country to country. Statistics show that businesses owned by women tend to remain smaller than those owned by men, whether measured by the number of employees or by the size of revenues. Because women-led firms fail to grow as robustly, the opportunities to innovate and expand are limited, as are the rewards. Based on recent studies that examine the links between entrepreneurial supply and demand issues, this volume provides insights into how women around the world are addressing the challenges of entrepreneurial growth. The first set of chapters consists of country overviews and provides discussions of the state of women growing businesses. The second set of chapters describes research projects under way in different countries and explores more focused topics under the umbrella of women business owners and business growth. The volume concludes with an agenda and projects for future research. Academics and policymakers will gain a greater understanding of women s entrepreneurial behaviors and outcomes through this path-breaking volume. Those who support women through education and training, policymaking, or providing entrepreneurial resources will also find the volume of great practical interest.
