Recommendation

This book, exhaustively researched and daunting to read, sums up all of the most important forces likely to concern a biotech marketer. The authors take a dispassionate, methodical approach, buttress their points with plenty of case evidence and examples, clearly have a grasp of the subject and communicate detailed knowledge of great value to those in the field. Unfortunately, their style is plodding and clinical, replete with passive constructions and impersonal, generally soporific sentences. getAbstract.com believes that those with a real need to know will be glad to brew some strong coffee and grateful to stay the course and become so thoroughly updated. Readers who are intrigued by the field - but not immersed in it - will benefit most from reading the introduction, the first three chapters and the conclusion.

Take-Aways

  • Broadly defined, the biosector already accounts for one-third of the world gross domestic product.
  • Biobrands include everything from the fuel additive ethanol to niche drugs to medical foods, such as calcium-rich orange juice.
  • The most successful brands master the delicate art of positioning
