Editorial Reviews

Review


"Evolutionary Innovations...is fascinating, historically significant, and dramatic."--Nature Biotechnology
"..fascinating.... The analysis of the historical developments of biotechnology is both rooted in theoretical ideas and a source of possible generalizations. We need more books of this type."--EAEPE Newsletter
"Good reading for economists and others interested in the biotechnology industry."--Choice
"...well-written and thoroughly researched....Her study makes an important contribution to the development of that theory and to the growing body of work on the history of biotechnology and innovation."--Technology and Culture


Product Description

This is a study of the commercial development of biotechnology that compares the initiatives, activities and organization of two firms--Genentech in the United States and Kabi in Sweden--as they brought knowledge to the market in the form of insulin and the human growth hormone. Writing from a broad evolutionary perspective, Maureen McKelvey's important study of one of the most modern science-based technologies will be of interest to all concerned with understanding the processes of innovation.
