Title: Global Competition, Technology Management and The Prospects for India
Abstract: Among the major global trends today are economic growth, a
changed world order, rapidly growing trade, and a shift to services.
Another major trend that is underway is the shift to information. I will

transitional and developing economies. Then I will discuss global
competition, the role of technology management and the likely prospects for
India in the next few decades.
