Description: "A collection of contributions by experts in their various fields, the book provides a realistic balance of technology and commerce. The broad view of the subject matter encompasses such diverse topics as pesticides, the flavour and fragrance industry, oil production, fermentation and protein engineering to name but a few. On the business side, the management, financing and regulation of biotechnology, both in Europe and the US, all receive in-depth consideration." "The book assumes the reader has some knowledge of the science behind the technologies as well as a layperson's view of buying and selling. With that background understanding it 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."--BOOK JACKET.
