Long description:
Scientific progress - from creating better medicines to
building better bridges or designing improved technology networks - can lead to
intriguing business opportunities, but business expertise is not always a
natural companion to scientific excellence. Scientists require a nuanced
understanding of the modern business environment to successfully navigate the
commercial world and maximise the economic potential of their ideas.
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.
