Then the triangular fuzzy number model is established using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process, and the key factors influencing biotechnology industry are extracted. The results show that in terms of weight, the key factors influencing the success of biotechnology industry are sequenced as follows: "open innovation capacity", "quality and cost control ability", "advanced customer-oriented product manufacturing capacity", "technology R & D personnel's capacity", "brand image building capacity", "logistics and sales capacity", "grasping the market demand trends". The manufacturers and government decision-making body can use this as the basis, to promote the development of the biotechnology industry.展开更多

The growth of the Biotechnology industry has stimulated extensive research on its determinants. One of the areas which has attracted a fair amount of attention is the distribution of firm size within an industry. What is less known however, is the dynamics of firm size. This paper considers a statistical model to describe the spatial dynamics of firm size across the biotechnology industry. It is found that firm size fluctuates around its long run stationary equilibrium according to a temporal drift and random disturbance. The empirical results illustrate that diffusion is a potential technique for the analysis of spatial dynamics of firm size.展开更多

In addition, in the last few decades, public and private interests have advocated for government policies and laws to globally promote the commercialization of university science. This paper examines the persistence or convergence of the two cultures of science and the implications of this commercialization for university-industry relationships in agriculture biotechnology. The perceptions and values of over 200 U.S. university and industry scientists, managers and administrators who participate in or oversee research collaborations in agricultural biotechnology were analyzed. The findings revealed that the participants in these research relationships continue to perceive very distinct cultures of science and identify a wide range of concerns and disadvantages of these partnerships. Several actions were discussed to ensure that the two cultures serve complementary roles and that they maximize the public benefits from these increasing collaborations.展开更多

By integrating external factor evaluation (EFE) and internal factor evaluation (1FE) matrix, this study proposes a new technology selection method. The proposed fi'am^work is applied to a real technology selection problem faced by a bio-technology enterprise in the context of China' s economic, political and social environment. Two major aspects and 24 external/internal factors are determined. This study uses analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method to sort the information and derives weights of each criterion. Empirical results indicate that the candidate technology is promising, and shall be developed as one of the enterprise's primary products.展开更多

The empirical estimations proceed in three stages. Following the methodology of Yang and Huang (2009) with the assumption of variable return to scale (VRS) in the first stage, the original cost Malmquist productivity index (CM) is decomposed into five sources of productivity change: pure technical efficiency change, technical change, allocative efficiency change (AEC), input-price effect, and cost scale efficiency change. The method of Yang and Huang (2009) is an excellent contribution, but it did not deal with the exogenous environmental variables and noises. In the second stage, the original input variables are adjusted by the exogenous environmental variables. Finally, adjusted input variables produced by the second stage are reused for obtaining the reality of CM in the third stage.展开更多

With higher productivity and resulting higher profit, it has become the leading marineexploitation industry with the brightest prospects. The relatively limited species introduced for commercialcultivation showed great biological diversity. Introduction of selected good strains for tradtional cultivationand the transformation from cultivation of mixed stains to that of pure cell lines are two certain tendenciesin the future. Pure line cultivation of seaweeds is a sort of advanced biotechnology. It provides new op-portunities for not only the industry itself, but also the stable market of high quality natural marine prod-ucts. More work should be done on principles and methods to obtain optimal results for the combinationof pure line cultivation techniques with advanced biochemistry. The Programmed batch production of finechemicals such as polysaccharides and proteins will probably become the social demand.展开更多

This was achieved by identifying, studying, and understanding the impacts, current trends, and different disruptive ideas and innovations emerging in the food industry. The study was conducted through interpretive research philosophy by carrying out secondary data collection processes, where both qualitative and quantitative information was presented. Deductive approaches were also selected to apply existing theories and models, which were used to construct research hypotheses and present detailed findings. The study finds that, with disruptive thinking, enhancements in the product life cycle, new flavors, and improvements in food packaging have been possible. The supply chain, which is always considered a complex part of the food industry, has been streamlined, offering greater transparency and real-time tracking and improving quality control across distribution systems.展开更多

We draw on diverse data to demonstrate the unique development trajectory of the industry in China. China has benefited through targeted spin-offs of R&D-oriented foreign direct investment from developed countries driven by the effects of globalization, government-encouraged collaboration between the domestic academia and industry, and the input of overseas returnees. Together with an increasing focus of the government and domestic enterprises on independent innovation, such developments have enabled China to catch up with the global biotechnology industry. However, its small scale and low capacity for commercializing innovations under China "s current regulations and other barriers pose challenges for the development of the industry. Suggestions for the sustainable development of China's biotechnology industry are presented in this study.展开更多
