This short book examines the availability and adoption of new
education technologies in higher education institutions in India.
It provides a summary of the activities in which such technologies
are being used and the catalytic factors for such adoptions. The
book also evaluates the impact on skill development, and will be a
useful reference for those who are interested to find out more
about technology adoption and implementation in higher education,
and what the challenges are through the learning experiences in
these education institutions.
This book looks at two-stage industrial cluster theory and new
innovation models in view of IT-ization and servitization of
products. The formation of industrial clusters such as export
processing zones and special economic zones has been the preferred
mechanism for developing countries to boost their industrial
development and export performance for the last several decades.
Existing literature related to Development Economics cited numerous
benefits of industrial clusters and several countries have reaped
such benefits. The book goes beyond formation of traditional
industrial clusters. It promotes the idea of formation of two-stage
clusters. The book further stresses on new innovation models. The
ideas are promoted based on the empirical evidence of Chinese and
Taiwanese firms in consumer electronics and automobile sectors.
Finally, the book looks at firm strategies in new business
environment which is dominated by servitization of industrial
products. It argues for firms to integrate manufacturing and
services to a great extent. To substantiate the arguments,
empirical evidence comes from India, Taiwan, and Bangladesh. The
study further finds evidence, perhaps for the first time that
innovation and knowledge acquisition strategies are influenced not
only by size of firms but also vary with market preferences.
This book examines long-term structural changes and the broad
impact on economic development in regional comparative
perspectives. The book analyzes data across Africa, Asia and Latin
America. It looks at key variables of productivity growth,
industrialization, poverty, urbanization, and employment. This book
is concerned with understanding structural change dynamics and how
it affects job creation, living standards, and the efficiency of
productive cities through manufacturing productivity growth that
benefits majority of citizens. With empirical evidence from a
selected number of developing countries including China, India,
Brazil, Nigeria and South Africa, the book attempts to present the
considerable structural changes of these countries over the last
few decades. It highlights that growth without the expected job
creation is one of the distinct features of growth in emerging and
developing countries. It suggests that countries may well record
economic growth, whether through within sector productivity
increase or through structural change, but this may not necessarily
lead to employment, an important concern for long-term development.

the book looks at company strategies in a new business environment
dominated by the servitization of industrial products. It proposes
that firms integrate manufacturing and services to a greater

evidence from India, Taiwan, and Bangladesh. Furthermore, the study
contends that innovation and knowledge acquisition strategies are

Economic diversification entails a shift away from a single income
source toward multiple income sources from an increasing spectrum
of sectors and markets. A persistent concern for some Asian and
African economies is their reliance on commodity exports and how
they are exposed to the risk of export volatility and income
instability. The Covid-19 pandemic and previous oil crashes have
demonstrated the adverse impact on such economies. This book
provides a systemic analysis of sustainable economic development
through economic diversification. The book analyzes diversification
and development experiences from comparative perspectives of Asia
and Africa. It also investigates determinants of export
diversification differentiated by commodities-dependence versus
manufactured products and looks at the roles of various
institutions and governance of institutions in export
diversification. This book will provide policy insights into how
different degrees of specialisation in exports across countries
have affected outcomes in terms of living standards, economic
growth and employment.
