probing assessment of the current state and likely evolution of
this global industry. This book is essential reading for the
executive who desires a thorough understanding of this business and
its potential.’–John P. Glasser, Vice President and Chief
Information Offers, Partners Healthcare System, Inc.
‘Bergeron and Chan have done a marvelous job integrating many
different perspectives to give the reader a coherent road map of
the biotech industry for the next decade. This powerful book is
anchored by numerous relevant examples that create a framework
which any life sciences professional needs to understand. Of
particular note is the compelling assessment of the IT industry and
its impact on the life sciences as these industries
converge.’–Michael A. Greeley, Managing General Partner, IDG
