Scientific progress - from creating better medicines tobuilding better bridges or designing improved technology networks - can lead tointriguing business opportunities, but business expertise is not always anatural companion to scientific excellence. Scientists require a nuancedunderstanding of the modern business environment to successfully navigate thecommercial world and maximise the economic potential of their ideas. Management forScientists explores the core theories and practices in management studiestoday in a context applicable to those working in the scientific industries. Essential business concepts covered include corporate strategy and businessplanning, organisation structure, management and operations, and labour andhuman resources, and these are all viewed through the prism of building,maintaining and developing a scientific business in the pharmaceutical,biotechnology, engineering, maths, and computing sectors. Chapters feature a range of real-world examples from modernscience-driven businesses, presented by experienced scientists withdemonstrated strategic and economic business expertise.
Scholars mostly of science but also of business offer advice to people trained as scientists who find themselves in, or seek out, companies or other situations in which the must, or can, manage other scientists. Among their topics are theory of the firm and the law, organizational structures for technology firms, information and knowledge governance, change management: the organization as a micro-macro system, online resources for biologists, management in life sciences, and agile methods for engineering. -- Annotation (c)2019 * (protoview. com) *
