About Product
Ashok Desai shows how Indias industrial structure differs from the structure in industrial countries, and how the proliferation of small firms leads to a fragmentation of the Indian demand for technology and cuts down the benefits of technology imports. Martin Bell and Don Scott-Kemmis wonder whether a commercial and shortsighted approach to technology imports leads Indian firms to miss opportunities of growth and exports.Charles Cooper finds that multinational corporations are happier with their experience than smaller exporters of technology to India, and asks whether Indian policies and procedures favour big firms against small and reduce technology supply to India. Charles Edquist and Staffan Jacobsson show how South Korean producers of excavators and machining centres, starting from a lower base and sometimes importing technology from the same firms as their Indian counterparts, built up production faster, achieved economies of scale, lowered costs of production and developed exports. GhayurAfam follows Indian firms in their search for technology abroad, and shows how they take decisions within the constraints of the market and policy.
