This book provides a study of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in the high technology industries of newly industrializing countries. Concentrating on cases in India and Brazil, State-Owned Enterprises in High Technology Industries covers such factors as the economic and political impact of SOEs both at home and abroad; the question of whether they present a threat or an opportunity for multinationals; and the factors shaping the performance of high technology SOEs.

Reviews

The growth of SOE's in the high technology sector is a relatively new phenomenon, and its implications to international competitiveness, industrial organization, and government-business interactions are not well understood. Ramamurti provides a fresh perspective on these issues. The case studies chosen to portray the strategic problems of SOE's in high technology are very rich, well structured, and easy to read. . . .-Journal of International Business Studies
