Organizations and the Bioeconomy The Management and Commodification of the Life Sciences

This book presents an integrated yet complex view of how the life sciences are becoming increasingly subject to economic interests and venturing. Not only are life science advances confined to laboratories-only slowly and eventually pouring into the health care practices, policies, and recommendations-but they are also taking the form of goods and services in their own right.
