Industrial Dynamics in China and India: Firms, Clusters, and Different Growth Paths (Ide-Jetro Series)

This book is one of the first fully-fledged studies to examine the next world-class industrial leaders emerging from China and India; exploring the domestic and international factors that have led to their rise, and comparing their experiences with other East Asian late-comers such as Japan. This book is one of the first to provide a fully-fledged and detailed comparative perspective on the growth of major industries in China and India. The focus is explicitly on the indigenous firms and clusters that are emerging as the new world industrial leaders. It clarifies the fundamental differences in the competition and organisation between the two countries, and explores the institutional context that created these gaps. The industries discussed range from the traditional, such as textiles, electronics and automobiles, to areas that have developed more recently, such as ICT-related services and electric vehicles. Specific focus is placed on the role played by individual skills, organizational R&D, and inter-firm networks in capability creation. Other East Asian experiences are used to highlight the new realities of super populous ex-agrarian countries in the 21st century. This is a reliable analysis by an international group of industrial field researchers based on their repeated surveys in both countries Cover......Page 1 Halftitle......Page 2 Frontmatter......Page 3 Title......Page 4 Copyright......Page 5 Contents......Page 6 List of Tables......Page 8 List of Figures......Page 10 List of Abbreviations......Page 12 Acknowledgements......Page 16 Notes on Contributors......Page 18 Introduction: Different Competition, Different Industrial Dynamics......Page 22 Part I Firms and Competition......Page 38 1 Competition and Management in the Manufacturing Sector in China and India: A Statistical Overview......Page 40 2 China and India’s Electrical and Electronics Industries: A Comparison between Market Structures......Page 61 Part II Capability Formation: Skills, Technology, and Innovation......Page 82 3 Technology Acquisition by Indigenous Firms: The Case of the Chinese and Indian Automobile Industries......Page 84 4 Capability-Building via Interfi rm Relationship and In-House Employment in China and India: A Comparative Study of the Motorcycle Industry......Page 101 5 Skill Formation through Education and Training: A Comparison of China and India......Page 128 6 The Institutional Milieu of Skill Formation: A Comparative Study of Two Textile Regions in India and China......Page 156 Part III The Role of the State and the Global Production Network......Page 176 7 Two Tales of Agro-Industrial Transformation: State Capacity in China’s and India’s Textile Industries......Page 178 8 Local Finance and Governments in the Economic Development of China and India: Distribution and Economic Efficiency......Page 201 9 The Electric Vehicle Industry in China and India: The Role of Governments for Industry Development......Page 224 10 The Role of Local Government in Software and ITES Offshoring in Dalian, China......Page 247 11 The Role of Standards in Technology-Driven Commodity Chains: The Information and Communication Technology Services Industry in Dalian, China, and Bangalore, India......Page 258 Index......Page 280 Introduction: different competition, different industrial dynamics / Moriki Ohara Firms and competition Competition and management in manufacturing sector in China and India : an overview / Moriki Ohara and Hong Lin China and India's electrical and electronics industries : a comparison between market structures / Koichiro Kimura Capability formation : skills, technology, and innovation Technology acquisition by indigenous firms : the case of the Chinese and Indian automobile industries / Tomoo Marukawa Capability-building via inter-firm relationship and in-house employment in China and India : a comparative study of the motorcycle industry / Moriki Ohara Skill formation through education and training : a comparison of China and India / Yoko Asuyama The institutional milieu of skill formation : a comparative study of two textile regions in India and China / Manimegalai Vijayabaskar The role of state and global production network Two tales of agro-industrial transformation : state capacity in China's and India's textile industries / Mark Dallas Local finance and governments in the economic development of China and India : distribution and economic efficiency / Kai Kajitani The electric vehicle industry in China and India : the role of governments for industry development / Martin Lockström, Thomas Callarman, and Liu Lei The role of local government in software and ites off-shoring in Dalian, China / Hiromi Hinata The role of standards in technology driven commodity chains : the information and communication technology services industry in Dalian, China, and Bangalore, India / Balaji Parthasarathy and Bharath Palavalli.
