How prepared are some countries and enterprises to assimilate new technologies by adopting appropriate human resource development strategies. Linking economic development and transfer of technology in relation to this question, this volume draws on a detailed study of four nations - Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and India - to provide a comparative analysis. At the micro level, they discuss case studies of enterprises in India and abroad that have been able to successfully restructure their organizations and bring in technological change. The authors conclude by outlining policy options for creating a climate suitable for technological and economic growth.
