Nollen, StanleyGregory, NeilTenev, Stoyan2013-06-052013-06-052009978-0-8213-6478-9https://hdl.handle.net/10986/13805China and India have grown rapidly in importance in the global economy over the past two decades the same period in which hardware and software have become important tradable products in the global economy. China has reached global scale in the hardware industry but not in software; India has achieved the reverse. These recent developments offer new insights into the ways in which new industries can take root and flourish within the broader context of developing economies. This progress has attracted widespread comment, most of it anecdotal or based on partial explanations of industrial growth. This study seeks to provide a fuller explanation based on an empirical analysis of the macro and micro underpinnings of these contrasting growth stories. In doing so, the study sheds a broader light on the economic development paths that China and India have taken since 1990, and also on the process by which developing economies can enter and succeed in new markets.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAdvanced Technologyback officeback-officeBalance of Paymentsbandwidthbest practicesbroadbandbroadband connectivityBusiness Environmentbusiness environmentsbusiness functionBusiness Indicatorsbusiness processbusiness process outsourcingBusiness servicesbusiness Softwarebusiness strategiesbusiness strategybusinessescall centerscapabilitiesCapabilityCapital Needscapital requirementscatalytic rolecollaborationcommunitiescompetitive advantageCompetitivenesscomponentsComputer hardwareComputer industryComputer softwareComputer software industrycomputer storageComputersConnectivityconsumer electronicsCopyingCopyrightCorporate CultureCorporate culturescultural normscustomer relationscustomer servicedata collectiondata entrydata sourcesdata storagedevicesdigitaldigital videoDisk drivesE-maileconomic activitieseconomic developmentEdible Oilselectrical machineryelectronic equipmentengineeringengineersEnterprise applicationsenterprise developmentequipmentexpert opinionexport marketsFactors of Productionfinancial flowsfinancial institutionsfinancial resourcesfinancial servicesfinancial supportfinancial systemfinancial systemsFiscal Deficitsforeign direct investmentForeign Investmentglobal economyglobal marketGovernment PoliciesGovernment PolicyHardwarehardware manufacturinghigh technologyhigh technology industrieshigher education institutionshuman capitalimageindustrial developmentinformation servicesinformation technologyinformation technology industryinnovationinnovationsintangible assetsintellectual propertyintellectual property rightsInterest RatesInternational Businessinternational comparisonsinternational competitioninternational competitivenessinternational tradeInternet service providersinternet softwareIT serviceskeyboardsknowledge sharingLabor Costsland uselearninglicenseslocal area networkslocalizationMainframeMainframe computersmainframesManufacturingManufacturing Industriesmanufacturing industrymarket economiesMarket Researchmarket sharemarketingmaterialmedium enterprisesmenumicroelectronicsMiddlewaremobile telephonesmodemsmonitorsmotherboardsnatural resourcenatural resourcesNetworkingnew marketsoffice operationsopen accessoperating systemsoutsourcingPCperformancesPeripheralspersonal computerpersonal computersphotophysical infrastructurepolicy frameworkpower suppliesprinted circuitsprivate investmentPrivate SectorPrivate Sector Developmentprocurementproduct developmentproduction processProduction ProcessesProductivityProgrammingprogramsprotection of intellectual propertypublishingpurchasing powerpurchasing power parityqueriesR&Dradiosregulatory frameworkresultresultsrouterssatellitescannerssearchesSemiconductorSemiconductor IndustrySemiconductorsserverssocial servicesSoftware Companiessoftware exportsSoftware Industriessoftware productsoftware Productionsoftware productsSoftware Servicessoftware services industryStandardizationstorage devicessubsidiarysupply chainSystems integrationSystems softwaretechnical knowledgetechnical skilltechnical skillstechnical supporttechnological changeTechnological innovationstechnology developmenttechnology parkTechnology TransferTelecomtelecom infrastructureTelecommunicationstelecommunications connectivityTelecommunications equipmenttelecommunications industryTelecommunications servicesTelephonetelevisionstransactionusersusesvideowide area networksWorkstationsNew Industries from New Places : The Emergence of the Software and Hardware Industries in China and IndiaWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6478-9
