Developmental Financial Institutions As Technology Policy Instruments: Implications For Innovation And Entrepreneurship In Emerging Economies, Gerard George, Ganesh N. Prabhu

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Developmental financial institutions (DFIs) in emerging economies regularly assess new technology platforms to support their investments in new ventures, established firms, and technology institutions (TIs). Their financing decisions are guided by national priorities such as achieving technological self-reliance. By providing attractive financing options and related support, DFIs are well placed to consciously channel finance into designated priority technology areas. To better understand DFI roles, we conducted multiple interviews with participants affiliated with DFIs, firms and TIs in India. From data gathered from these interviews and secondary data on DFIs in emerging economies, we develop a preliminary framework to suggest that …

A Fresh Look At It Entrepreneurship In India, Vinay Deshpande

IIMB Management Review

Since the early nineties, the Indian IT sector has distinguished itself by virtually becoming an engine of growth for the entire economy of the country, ranking amongst the highest export revenue earning sectors. What needs to be clarified, though, is that this sector has been largely made up of software services companies that have been based on the availability of a large pool of low-cost manpower with leading-edge skills, and have benefitted from the worldwide shortage of skilled IT manpower. Consequently, owing to the low risk and relatively low capital investment requirements and the low business risk associated, they have …

Sampling Concepts, Paul Boyd, Ph.D.

MBA Faculty Conference Papers & Journal Articles

The usefulness of any research is dependent upon how well the group studied represents the group about which decisions are to be made or conclusions drawn. That is, it depends upon how well the sample reflects relevant characteristics of the population. When it is possible to study every member of that group there is no problem, for on these occasions we can easily calculate the exact attribute (parameter) of interest for our population.

For example, if we were interested in determining the average number of gallons of gasoline sold to customers at our service station yesterday, we …

Adequacy Of The 1995 Antitrust Guidelines For The Licensing Of Intellectual Property In Complex High Tech Markets, Clovia Hamilton

Winthrop Faculty and Staff Publications

In 1995, the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission adopted new guidelines for those wishing to license intellectual property rights without violating antitrust laws. Designed to provide clarity, these guidelines instead breed confusion because they misunderstand the nature of intellectual property markets and provide insufficient guidance in the most difficult areas. Section I of this article will discuss the basic provisions of the guidelines, especially their treatment of "innovation markets." It argues that government enforcers should focus primarily on activity that creates entry barriers. Understanding the use and misuse of licensing is the key to analyzing barriers in …

Entrepreneurial Strategies And Policies: The Innovator’S Choice: By Mathew J Manimala, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1999, Rajnish Karki

IIMB Management Review

The book is an original and comprehensive work of research on entrepreneurship. It is an important contribution on the subject, and the work is certainly among the most rigorous management research done in India. The research departs from conventional research on entrepreneurship in two significant ways one, it focuses on the question of ‘what entrepreneurs do’ rather than on ‘what entrepreneurs are’ two, it empirically tests an existing typology of entrepreneurs. The case survey methodology, though not very common in management research, brings quantitative rigour to a work based on qualitative data.

Ssis And Technology Management, Ganesh Prabhu

IIMB Management Review

Since Independence, Small Scale Industries (SSIs), have been playing a stellar role in the economic development of the country. SSIs account for more than a third of the total manufacturing output and generate almost 35 per cent of the country's exports. Importantly, they provide employment to more than ten million Indians. With the onset of economic liberalisation in the country-since 1991- even SSIs have been trying to redefine their role and adapt effectively to the changing macro-economic environment, where market forces are calling the tune. The Abid Hussain Committee, which was constituted to re-define the role of SSIs in the …

Indian Software Industry: A Diagnostic Analysis, Premchander

IIMB Management Review

With the introduction of stringent requirements relating to foreign ownership of businesses in India in the early seventies, the information technology boom began in the country with alert entrepreneurs capitalising quickly on this development. Aided by the international demand for software and among other things, the low-cost availability of skilled workforce, the Indian software industry grew rapidly. But today, several of the earlier competitive advantages are being eroded. A profile of the industry has been drawn up assessing its vulnerability through its strengths and weaknesses, the threats and opportunities it faces, and the value drivers in the industry.
