Ipr : Experiences Of Inventors, Pavan Mamidi Sep 2002

Ipr : Experiences Of Inventors, Pavan Mamidi

IIMB Management Review

Why is it that our young scientist-inventors, bursting with ideas, baulk at the thought of patenting them and choose instead the more ‘respectable’ option of publishing papers? How do they reconcile their basic instinct to freely disseminate knowledge with the ground realities of ‘blocking the domain’ and competition from peers? Despite the claim of the authorities that there were well documented and standardised processes, M T Arvind of Sasken Technologies, Nithin Nagaraj of GE, Prof Sanjay Biswas from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and Prof Kannan Moudgalya, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, endorsed a general ignorance of IP issues …

Indian Software Industry : An Operations Perspective, Subramanya Sharma, P Jai Krishna Ramesh, A Ravikiran

IIMB Management Review

The history of the Indian software industry may be reckoned from 1974, when Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) started off its operations. TCS with its joint ventures became one of the largest software exporters in the early days. However, exports became the core focus of companies sometime around the late 1980s and early 1990s.

R&D Management : Issues And Challenges, Shikha Suman Jun 2002

R&D Management : Issues And Challenges, Shikha Suman

IIMB Management Review

Before the 60s, there was neither literature nor explicit focus on R&D management. The ‘linear model of innovation’1 prevailed, both in the public and the private sector. It was believed that investments in R&D eventually would pay off when research-based products and processes reached production and/or the market. R&D units of companies were generally left to themselves, managed by the unit’s most distinguished scientists. They set their goals and their priorities based largely on scientific criteria alone, albeit within the frames of the company’s current operations and future strategies.

A Fresh Look At It Entrepreneurship In India, Vinay Deshpande Mar 2002

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 …

Success Parameters For Technology Companies In The It Arena - An Indian Perspective, M Chandrasekaran

IIMB Management Review

The very word ‘technology’ in the context of the IT industry conjures up visions of radically different products that are made possible by esoteric and futuristic technology implemented through pure hardware or pure software or increasingly hardware/ software combinations. It is also clear that the evolutionary change to increasingly software intensive solutions is here to stay. In the context of this article, ‘technology companies’ will refer only to companies that are pure software or software / hardware plays that operate in the area of emerging technologies. Such companies will typically develop Intellectual Property( IP), license this IP, and use it …

Km In Wipro Infotech : A Case Review, Anurag Srivastava, N Rajendhiran, Nandini Prasanna, Satish Prasad

IIMB Management Review

In recent times knowledge management has become a critical initiative for organisations. According to Tom Stewart1, an organisation that is not managing knowledge is not paying attention to business. Every company needs to answer the questions What do we know? and Where is the knowledge? Companies around the world have begun to make real business contributions through practices associated with knowledge management. Practices centred around KM have started yielding substantial results in global companies like Buckman Laboratories, Arthur Andersen, Microsoft, E&Y, Chevron, HP, BP Amoco, Booz Allen. More and more companies are initiating KM in their organisations to gain competitive …

Leading With Knowledge: The Nature Of Competition In The 21st Century: By Richard C Huseman And Jon P Goodman, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1998., Neelesh Hundekari

IIMB Management Review

Readers who pick up any book on knowledge management, intellectual capital or the learning organisation, approach it with a single objective: what does it mean and how do I implement it? The success or otherwise of any such book, therefore, will to a large extent depend on how well it answers these questions. Huseman and Goodman have done a singularly comprehensive job of answering these questions with conceptual clarity and practical implementability.


Entrepreneurial Strategies And Policies: The Innovator’S Choice: By Mathew J Manimala, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1999, Rajnish Karki Jun 2000

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.

Liberalisation, Alliances And Technology Transfer- India's High Technology Sector, Luis Murillo Oct 1998

Liberalisation, Alliances And Technology Transfer- India's High Technology Sector, Luis Murillo

IIMB Management Review

Newly industrialising countries may lead the world in the coming century, and among them, India may well develop an impressive high technology sector, based in part on a vigorous microelectronics industry. From a situational analysis of the present Indian context, Murillo asserts that subject to judicious policies in education, infrastructure construction, market liberalisation, global alliances and political stability, it is only a matter of time before India becomes a power in the manufacture of semiconductors.
