About the Book: What policies should India pursue for fostering innovation? Basant's book takes the perspective that all policies that influence technology-related choices of firms should be considered part of innovation policy. It analyses the impact various policies—including those related to industry, trade, R&D, foreign direct investment, intellectual property rights, start-ups and higher education—have on innovation. It brings together conceptual and empirical literature from diverse intellectual streams to study the linkages between innovation and public policy. Combining insights from the disciplines of economics and management, the book highlights the complexity of policy choices, identifies certain focus areas and argues for consistency across various policy instruments to create an appropriate environment for innovation in India.
