Kort om föreläsningen:
This lecture addresses the economic and business development of modern biotechnology – which is seen not only as small biotech firms but as a broad knowledge base, which affects many industries and different types of firms. This lecture draws upon the newly published book ”The Economic Dynamics of Modern Biotechnology”, edited jointly with Annika Rickne and Jens Laage-Hellman (Edward Elgar Publishers, UK).
The book is about the dynamics of knowledge – the economic processes that shape the exploration and exploitation of new knowledge in society. This rests upon the idea that innovations and the related development of new knowledge and information go hand in hand with economic transformation. The economy is in flux, changing fundamentally over time, with new products, firms and activities starting up and with existing ones being significantly modified or disappearing. This constant transformation is based on learning and innovation, which are largely economic processes with economic objectives.

Kort om föreläsaren/föreläsarna:
Maureen McKelvey is professor in ”Economics of Innovation”, at the School of Technology Management & Economics, Chalmers University of Technology. She is also director of RIDE (R&D, Innovation and Dynamics of Economies). RIDE is a VINNOVA-Chalmers research center, under the auspices of IMIT. More information can be found at www.mot.chalmers.se/ride and at www.mot.chalmers.se/staff/private/maumck/cv.htm
Maureen McKelvey has done much research on knowledge-intensive innovations, especially those with links to engineering and/or natural science discoveries. These innovations may be based either on current work done at universities or by firms which modify and further develop that knowledge for specific commercial applications of use. She has worked on broader aspects related to employment and productivity, as well as detailed studies of modern biotechnology and open source software.
