4. |  The New Players in Life Science Innovation: Best Practices in R&D from Around the World Publisher: FT Press Publication Date: 15-JUL-2011 Insert Date: 04-MAY-2011 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: The New Players in Life Science Innovation: Best Practices in R&D from Around the World The global center of gravity in life
sciences innovation is rapidly shifting to emerging economies. In
The New Players in Life Science Innovation, Tomasz
Mroczkowski explains how China and other new economic powers are
rapidly gaining leadership positions, and thoroughly assesses the
implications. Mroczkowski discusses the sophisticated innovation
strategies and reforms these nations have implemented: approaches
that don't rely on market forces alone, and are achieving
remarkable success. Next, he previews the emerging global
"bio-economy," in which life science discoveries will be...
