Review :
`I found the book itself well researched, interesting in the material covered and detailed in its presentation of facts.... I would strongly recommend its reading to students of Indian industry and particularly students interested in industrial development. For those working on the computer industry... it is an informative case study, highlighting the problems faced by late-comer firms in trying to catch up with the remarkable rate of technical change in one industry, and the role of policy in hastening this process of catch up′ - Journal of Evolutionary Economics
