Novo Nordisk - Kurt Jacobsen

[John Hjorth]

Book mentioned in the The NVO - Novo Nordisk topic here on CoBF.

 

Danish version : Gads Forlag : Kurt Jacobsen : Novo Nordisk,

English version : Gads Forlag : Kurt Jacobsen : Novo Nordisk [English edition]. [Which will be released on April 14^th 2023.]

 

I reveived the Danish version of the book yesterday. Started reading a bit of it late in the evening, ended up reading on in the bed, after I hit the hay. Very hard for me to let it go, to go sleep.

 

Kurt Jacobsen is a professor at Copenhagen Business School, he is a holder of a ph.d. in history, with a certain interest in business history. I immediately "fell in to the book" [got hooked] while I started reading.

 

The book has been produced in celebration of the predecessors of Novo Nordisk reaching the age of 100 years, while the company granting Kurt Jacobsen unlimited access to the archives of the company.

 

It's thorough and meticulous in all matters covered, to an extreme degree. It's actually written as was it a ph.d. thesis. From what I have read so far, I got a lot of knowledge about Insuline and Diabates in the early days, now 100 years ago.
