Oliver, a professor of management at Vanderbilt University, argues that industries like telecommunications, digital electronics and software that have shaped the economy of the last three decades of the 20th century will soon give way to biotechnology and its commercial applications — what he calls "bioterials" — as the driving engine of the economy. Useful for corporate executives, policymakers or investors, The Coming Biotech Age presents an enthusiastic view of the biotech transformation currently occurring in academia, government and industry, and how it will affect society and world business.
