Among these economic miracles were postwar Japan and, in the 1960's and 1970's, 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 1990's, 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. 606 $aBiotechnology industries$zKorea (South) 606 $aBiotechnology industries$zTaiwan 606 $aBiotechnology industries$zSingapore 606 $aIndustrial policy$zKorea (South) 606 $aIndustrial policy$zTaiwan 606 $aIndustrial policy$zSingapore 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBiotechnology industries 615 0$aBiotechnology industries 615 0$aBiotechnology industries 615 0$aIndustrial policy 615 0$aIndustrial policy 615 0$aIndustrial policy 676 $a338.4/76606095 700 $aWong$b Joseph$f1973-$01036272 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457717803321 996 $aBetting on biotech$92456502 997 $aUNINA
