Technologies for economic development

This book examines the role and significance of technology, and proceeds to deal with high-tech areas such as electronics, computers, information and telecommunications, bio technology, space, robotics, flexible manufacturing system and infrastructural sectors such as energy and transportation. It then studies how Japan, a country that rose from the ashes and destruction of World War II leads the world in high-tech industries thirty five years later. After examining the environment in India for technological advances, it draws a package of policy suggestions that would take India on the path of technology success. All this is in a language that a layman can understand.
The book would be valuable to the professional managers, industrialists, academicians, policy makers as also to lay readers and would go a long way in explaining and popularising the importance and complexities of technologies to the general public.
