Course Description
This course introduces students to the business of biotechnology and to how biotechnology firms capture and create value. The course starts with a case study in which the basic concepts used in the business of biotechnology are introduced. The first lecture is followed by lectures that address theoretical concepts that allow a structured study of the business of biotechnology. Students build a theory of the business (following Donaldson) and discuss theories of innovation (Rogers, Kano, Schumpeter, etc.), and the cognitive theory of the firm (Nooteboom). Students also discuss the products derived from industrial biotechnology research and development with a special focus on biotherapeutics and their development process.

Engineering Abroad
The laws of math and physics may be universal but how engineering is practiced varies around the world. Taking your engineering studies abroad will illustrate how theory is applied to make better systems and designs that work to solve problems in an international context. You'll expand the necessary soft skills like cross-cultural communication, teamwork, and leadership that will help you become a standout engineer. Learn how engineers in other parts of the world are contributing to industries like energy, healthcare, electronics, and manufacturing in Hong Kong. Gain practical experience devising solutions for waste water management in an environmental engineering lab in Chile.
