From the Publisher

India has realized, later than many other nations, that in order to prosper in the new world economy it will need to manage its knowledge assets successfully. This book investigates the rise of entrepreneurship and knowledge management. It looks at the high-technology sector, how it is at present and its prospects for growth. It then analyses the effect that the knowledge economy will have on labour, business strategy and corporate restructuring, and highlights the challenges that India will face - not least whether it can offer employment potential for a billion-plus people.
