Getting the innovation climate right: tenets of post genomics entrepreneurship
Some might think science is a romantic endeavor. The classic 鈥楨disonian鈥� lens of science has advanced precisely that vision: 鈥榯he lone genius鈥�. While this (false) metaphor of solitary scientific practice in a laboratory detached from society has prevailed for the past 400 years since the Enlightenment, 鈥榞ame changing鈥� transformative ideas do not hatch in a vacuum. Science and innovation are inherently social, political and collective activities [2鈥�6,101]. They require a favorable innovation climate or milieu, be it information systems, crossfunctional knowledge teams, understanding of organizational behavior, healthcare management, social and even meteorological climate [7,8]. The building and sustenance of research infrastructures and scientific discoveries can be stifled when these forces intersect and interact unfavorably.
