Networks of Innovation: Vaccine Development at Merck, Sharp and Dohme, and Mulford, 1895–1995 - Hardcover
Synopsis
Networks of Innovation offers an historical perspective on the manner in which private-sector organizations have acquired, sustained, and periodically lost the ability to develop, manufacture, and market new serum antitoxins and vaccines. The primary focus is on the H. K. Mulford Company, on Sharp and Dohme, which acquired Mulford in 1929, and upon Merck & Co Inc., which merged with Sharp and Dohme in 1953. By surveying a century of innovation in biologicals, the authors are able to analyze the conditions that either promoted or prevented creative changes in this important industry. They show how the activities of these three commercial enterprises were related to a series of complex, evolving networks of scientific, governmental, and medical institutions in the United States and abroad. This is the first such history to draw exclusively on sources internal to Merck, one of the world's leading innovators in modern vaccines and pharmaceuticals.

Review
'The work is admirably referenced and will be of value to all who take an interest in the field of biologicals. It will repay careful reading by those involved in the management of innovation in the pharmaceutical industry.' John Hunt, The Pharmaceutical Journal
