Description du livre
This book focuses on Indian
manufacturing industries and analyses the impact of inward foreign direct
investment on the domestic sector on the one hand, and exports and outward
foreign direct investment by Indian companies on the other. Although the
emphasis is mostly general, specific industries, such as the automotive
industry or the wind energy sector are also explored. The differences between low
and high technology industries are also addressed.
In terms of theoretical setting
and analysis, the book draws both from international business and industrial organization
literature. The various characteristics of Indian industries, such as the
determinants and impacts of R&D, the effects of spillovers, the drivers of
productivity and technical efficiency are thoroughly researched employing
appropriate quantitative methodologies that are relevant to the specific domain
and topic under investigation. The book also focuses on the bearing of
policy on promoting manufacturing industries in India and is therefore of
interest to researchers, industrialists and policy makers alike.
