The reader is smoothly driven in a dynamic and convincing way to understand the interactions of the scientific aspects of biotechnology with legal, political, regulatory and even ethical approaches required to make biotechnology a commercial success.

Indeed, the opening chapters introduce readers to the real concept of applied biotechnology, defined not only as a product or service making one, but also as a mixture of technologies that altogether and in harmony allow the development of a long-lasting commercial biotechnology.

Next, the author dives the reader into corporate biotechnology, highlighting the requirements to establish a biotechnology company.

This is a pivotal issue for pure-science biotechnologists, regularly deprived of the required background to build-up from bench to market. The last section is a well-organized basic tour through relevant issues that get together science and technology as a functional unit. It clearly shows the reader that being successful in biotechnology is not an easy task, but not impossible either if the proper steps are followed
