Field Research Methodology

Next Steps

Diagnostic Kits

General Status

  • He have created a glossary of research vocabulary that has a allowed us to better define the field.
  • We have developed a bibliography with literary reviews of the key articles.
    • We have found that genetic diagnostic kits are probably best suited for this study
  • We are developing a better understanding of the intellectual property landscape and have established that a wide variety of protections are used including: patent, trade secrets, NDAs, Non-compete, non-solicitation, confidentiality agreements. Economics of IP & IP
  • No open business models have emerged in the literature or through interviews.

Research Methodology in use

  • Case studies
  • Literature review
  • Industry analysis
  • Business reports and press releases
  • University reports and press releases

Problems and Considerations

  • How can the next phase of research further develop the quadrants already mapped?
  • What information should we aim to obtain through new research methods (e.g., interviews)?
  • How much should we focus on the largely defunct data production businesses in biotech?

Next Steps

  • Continue to investigate universities, non-profits, associations, and businesses relevant to the field
  • Deepen our understanding of how production and demand are controlled
  • Provide further documentation for the quadrants as we have identified them so far
