Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship Part I

In recent times Technology (T) Innovation (I) and Entrepreneurship (E) have become matters of critical importance to the economic and competitve success of nations firms and startups. Yet a depressingly large number of people-politicians bureaucrats businessmen engineers academics-are still locked up in the 'isms' and managerial mindsets of the last century. One reason is the paucity of academic books addressing TIE issues in a manner empathetic to the concerns of developed as well as developing societies. This book is the first part of a new textbook trilogy that seeks to fill this gap. A special feature is the inclusion of comparative insights derived by the author during his academic pursuits in India the UK Hong Kong/China and the USA. Part I (this book) examines TIE interactions from the perspectives of the world and nation-building. Parts II and III will do the same from the perspectives of individual firms and startups respectively.
