It examines the costs  as well as the benefits - the challenges as well as the choices  - of the rapidly expanding science-based world of biodiversity,  biopharmaceuticals, and bioinformatics, and it provides suggestions  for future work and research. This project fits into an ongoing  research program at Statistics Canada to develop meaningful indicators  for science, technology, and innovation in a technology-intensive  economy. This book tells the story of the inner workings of innovation  systems, technological systems, and competence blocs in the  production, use, and diffusion of knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792379225\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-4323-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 284\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265482150028,"sku":"9780792379225","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792379225.jpg?v=1770779925","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792379225","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
