Coleman (formerly with Research and Program Development at the North Carolina Japan Center) critically examines the economic management of bioscience in Japan. He finds that, until very recently, government funding for bioscience training and research has been very poor and that growth of the field has been hampered by an established "old-boy" network, as well as bureaucratic hurdles. However, some changes towards the successful development of the technology are discussed, particularly the management of the autonomous Osaka Bioscience Institute.
