Among these economic miracles were postwar Japan and, in the 1960s and 1970s, the so-called Asian Tigers--Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan--whose experiences epitomized the analytic category of the "developmental state." In Betting on Biotech, Joseph Wong examines the emerging biotechnology sector in each of these three industrial dynamos. They have invested billions of dollars in biotech industries since the 1990s, but commercial blockbusters and commensurate profits have not followed. Industrial upgrading at the cutting edge of technological innovation is vastly different from the dynamics of earlier practices in established industries. The profound uncertainties of life-science-based industries such as biotech have forced these nations to confront a new logic of industry development, one in which past strategies of picking and making winners have given way to a new strategy of throwing resources at what remain very long shots. Betting on Biotech illuminates a new political economy of industrial technology innovation in places where one would reasonably expect tremendous potential--yet where billion- dollar bets in biotech continue to teeter on the brink of spectacular failure. -- Book jacket. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Biotechnology industries|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85014264|zKorea (South)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79126802-781 650 0 Biotechnology industries|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85014264|zTaiwan.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80022631-781 650 0 Biotechnology industries|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85014264|zSingapore.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79059023-781 650 0 Industrial policy|zKorea (South)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008104517 650 0 Industrial policy|zTaiwan.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh2008123384 650 0 Industrial policy|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85065977|zSingapore.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79059023-781 650 7 Biotechnology industries.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/832791 650 7 Industrial policy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 971433 651 7 Korea (South)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1206791 651 7 Taiwan.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1207854 651 7 Singapore.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1205288 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tBetting on biotech.|dIthaca : Cornell University Press, 2011|z9780801450327|w(DLC) 2011013630 |w(OCoLC)710816564 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1487762|zOnline eBook.
