This unique book offers a comprehensive analysis of the changing role of government with respect to domestic technology development in eight countries in both the developed and the developing world. The author distinguishes between those countries which can be classed as creators of new technologies (Japan, Korea and Israel) and those which possess the potential to create new technologies (Singapore, Malaysia, India, South Africa and Brazil).

India has one of the fastest growing and largest telecommunications services market in the world, Much of the increases in telecom services were met through imports to begin with The state has now responded to this by attempting to make India a manufacturing hub for telecommunications equipment. Although there is evidence of increased domestic production of telecom equipment, the surging demand has necessitated imports. The value added by domestic manufacturing is still very low, but is likely to increase as the scale of domestic manufacturing increases. (Pac Aff/GIGA)

There is enough consensus to show that India's economic performance since 1991 is a direct result of the economic liberalization measures that have been put in place. One of the outcomes of this improved performance is the growth of innovations in the country. This was accompanied by or caused by the emergence of a number of technology-based enterprises. This paper takes a critical look at the available quantitative evidence on the growth of knowledge or technology-based entrepreneurship. It then looks at five facilitating factors for the emergence of this phenomenon in terms of the existence of increased market opportunities, availability of financial support schemes in the form of venture capital funds, existence and enlargement of a number of government programmes, a number of private sector initiatives and education, and training leading to the supply of technically trained personnel. The paper concludes with certain policy suggestions for the continued sustenance of this activity.

Eine Forschung, die auf die Lösung komplexer Probleme der Landwirtschaft in semi-ariden Tropen abzielt, erfordert den Einsatz mehrerer Forschungsdisziplinen in einem Forschungsteam. Das Management eines solchen Teams ist für die Schaffung einereffektiven Kommunikationsstruktur zuständig. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird beschrieben, wie mittels der AHP-Methode (AHP - analytic hierarchy process) die Präferenzen der beteiligten Wissenschaftler ermittelt werden können, um auf deren Basis zu einer optimalen Strukturierung der Kommunikation innerhalb einer Forschungsgruppe zu gelangen.
