This book asks fundamental questions about the extent to which India is
participating in the global shift towards knowledge-based forms of
competitiveness. It charts Indian performance and progress using a
unique framework benchmarked against fourteen other countries. In the
course of the analysis, critical areas for improvement are identified,
and the book provides detailed and objective insights for policy-makers
and researchers to facilitate change and institutional reform in
India.
Readers will derive a comprehensive understanding of India's performance
and prospects as it emerges as a serious global economic player. A
particular feature of the work is the development of an original
knowledge footprint concept that measures the extent and impact of
knowledge development and diffusion domestic and internationally.The
