"In 1980 the Indian software industry was practically non-existent. By the 1990s the industry was one of the largest employers in manufacturing. Similar patterns of growth can be found in other emerging economies. Since the software industry is commonly viewed as a high-tech industry, how is it that such spectacular growth has occurred in countries where high-tech industries would not seem likely to develop?" "This book examines the reasons behind this growth, and asks whether the software industry in emerging economies points to a new model of economic development. It explores the lessons the rise of these newcomers hold about industrial development and economic growth, and the role of human capital and firm capabilities in that process."--BOOK JACKET.
