"An essential discussion to the future of business, The Coming Biotech Age describes the biotech revolution taking place within our leading universities, corporations and government.
Without daunting scientific jargon, Oliver reveals what everyone - CEOs, investors, policymakers and others interested in the social ramifications of bioterials - must know, for instance: how the biotech lab is becoming a Gene-Factory - with the mass production of healthcare, agricultural, and commercial/industrial products; how the Bioterial Age will fundamentally alter the laws of economics as we know them; and how biotechnology will eliminate aging and disease.".
"Oliver also takes a look at the biovisionaries - researchers, scientists and business leaders - behind the biotech movement, and the biocapitalists who are poised to cash in on the new era."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description
The age of Biotech is dawning, says BusinessWeek. Here's how companies will benefit from the coming revolution in biotechnology. Biotech companies are quickly becoming the new economic engines of growth and innovation--and when they explode, the Internet revolution will look like small potatoes. Businesses must prepare now for the post-information Biotech Age, and this is the book that will get them ready. Richard Oliver, author of the acclaimed The Shape of Things to Come, has created the first practical guide to the Biotech Age. Rather than focusing on science or social issues, he presents an accessible overview of the business of biotechnology and its vast implications and opportunities for all types of industries. Like the Internet, this is a topic few can afford to miss out on--especially future-minded executives and investors in cutting-edge technologies.
