By showing how India can become internationally competitive in the IT industry, it also offers an avenue for India to tackle the massive needs of all its people in the increasingly globalized post-WTO world economy. India has many of the necessary ingredients for being competitive - a large diversified scientific pool, an extensive network of higher education institutions nad an array of centres of excellence in R & D. However, to remain internationally competitive, India must keep abreast of rapid technological developments by adopting a more proactive development strategy. In this spirit, this volume examines the Indian IT industry, especially the software sector, by bringing out the structural and market challenges it faces, the policies to deal with them and the organizational and strategic ways by which they resolve these challenges internally. Also considered is how external factors such as transnational links with foreign firms, markets and India-born entrepeneurs overseas become significant sources of innovation in India In this timely and unique study, the innovations in India's information (IT) industry are examined in detail. Globally the IT Industry has experienced phenomenal growth. For many economies, IT is expected to be the engine of growth for many countries. Already in India, the IT industry has made a mark in the global economy. However, India faces major challenges in meeting the basic needs of all its people and simultaneously meeting the requirements of competing in the increasingly globalized post-WTO world economy. The Indian IT sector provides a unique window to understand the process of development in an era of global economic integration. This unique study examines the issues surrounding the analysis of the Indian IT sector on a global, national, regional, firm, and product level and the significance of national policies to sustain the competitiveness of the Indian IT sector. At the dawn of the twenty-first century India's traditional image as an improvished nation is undergoing considerable change.
