In 1980 the Indian software industry was practically non-existent.
By the 1990s the industry was one of the largest employers in
manufacturing. Similar patterns of growth can be found in other
emerging economies. So given that the software industry is commonly
viewed as a high-tech industry, how is it that such spectacular
growth has occurred in countries where high-tech industries would
not seem likely to develop? This book examines the reasons behind
this phenomenon, and asks whether it suggests a new model of
economic development. The contributors explore the implications of
the rise of these newcomers to the software market for the global
industry, and whether there are things to be learned about the role
of human capital in economic growth, firm formulation and
capabilities, business and managerial models and industry
structure. Chapters include country studies on Brazil, China,
India, Ireland and Israel and are complemented by cross-cutting
chapters on some of the key issues highlighted by the groeth
patterns of software in these nations, most notably the role of the
multinational companies, the globalization of the skilled worker
flows, and the formation of firm capabilities. The novelty of the
growth patterns in the regions that studied makes this book useful
for understanding analytical and empirical issues underlying new
microfoundations of economic growth in some emerging regions of the
world.
