While most of the publications in the corresponding field have focused on particular countries/regions or actors, this research is unique in its scope. First, it explores the formation and development of medtech business both globally and in the major countries engaged in this industry (the United States, Japan, Germany, Switzerland, France, and China). Second, it tackles a broad range of actors and organizations, from individual entrepreneurs, medical doctors, and engineers to small family firms, start-ups, and large multinationals, as well as universities and research centers. Hence, for the first time, this book both provides a general understanding of the formation and transformation of the medtech industry throughout the world and sheds light on the main features of a fast-growing business in the twenty-first century. This book will be of value to historians, industry professionals, and analysts. 001443812 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001443812 650_0 $$aMedical technology$$xEconomic aspects. 001443812 650_6 $$aTechnologie médicale$$xAspect économique. 001443812 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001443812 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aDonzé, Pierre-Yves.$$tMedtech.$$dBasingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2021$$z9789811671739$$w(OCoLC)1285709886 001443812 852__ $$bebk 001443812 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-16-7174-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001443812 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1443812$$pGLOBAL_SET 001443812 980__ $$aBIB 001443812 980__ $$aEBOOK 001443812 982__ $$aEbook 001443812 983__ $$aOnline 001443812 994__ $$a92$$bISE
