This book focuses on Indian manufacturing industries and analyses the impact of inward foreign direct investment on the domestic sector on the one hand, and exports and outward foreign direct investment by Indian companies on the other. Although the emphasis is mostly general, specific industries, such as the automotive industry or the wind energy sector are also explored. The differences between low and high technology industries are also addressed. In terms of theoretical setting and analysis, the book draws both from international business and industrial organization literature. The various characteristics of Indian industries, such as the determinants and impacts of R&D, the effects of spillovers, the drivers of productivity and technical efficiency are thoroughly researched employing appropriate quantitative methodologies that are relevant to the specific domain and topic under investigation. The book also focuses on the bearing of policy on promoting manufacturing industries in India and is therefore of interest to researchers, industrialists and policy makers alike.

Der Gesetzgeber erganzte das Leistungserbringerrecht der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung zum 01.01.2000 um die Vorschriften zur integrierten Versorgung ( 140a bis 140h SGB V). Er wollte eine verschiedene Leistungssektoren ubergreifende Versorgung ermoglichen. Doch die Praxis macht von dieser Moglichkeit bisher so gut wie keinen Gebrauch. Ein Grund hierfur ist, dass das Gesetz selbst viele rechtliche Fragen offen lasst: Welche Leistungssektoren gibt es? Wann ist eine Versorgungsform leistungssektorenubergreifend? Wer kann Vertragspartner eines Vertrages zu einer integrierten Versorgungsform sein? Welche Punkte mussen in einem solchen Vertrag geregelt werden? Die Autorin bietet praktisch wertvolle Antworten auf diese u.a. Fragen an."
