This volume deals with the role and impact of technology on the
economy and society. The papers on corporate dimensions address the
impact of patents, determinants of innovative activities,
differential behaviour of multinationals, industrial groups and
other firms with regard to innovations and technology. In contrast,
the papers on social dimensions chiefly deal with the role of
technology in reducing inequality. The majority of the papers
employ econometric techniques and other statistical methods, and
many are based on primary data. The studies emphasise the
importance of innovations (especially patents) and human capital in
influencing productivity across Indian states, the significance of
patenting in determining the efficiency of firms, the role of
business groups in promoting innovations, differences in the
technological characteristics of multinational and domestic firms,
and how mergers and acquisitions can promote R&D. The papers on
social dimensions analyse how innovative activities can shape
employment, the impact of technology on poverty, the socioeconomic
characteristics of mobile phone ownerships, use of information and
communications technologies at educational institutions, and the
influence of Synchronous Technologies in reducing access to
teaching programmes. The studies show that those Indian states that
have invested in human capital and technology experienced higher
labour productivity. Further, the studies establish a positive
correlation between R&D spending and employment. Lastly, they
demonstrate that the adoption of agriculture-related technologies
can have a significant impact on rural poverty and consumption
expenditures.
