At last there is a book dealing with innovation in this highly mobile area where innovation and entrepreneurship are king and where cash burn seems to be the norm. Draws some interesting ideas and it is certainly THE book for an in depth study on what happens in the world of biotechnology.As a newbie to this area, it certainly opened my eyes.Great work guys.
