I was recently invited to write an op-ed piece for Mint (the
Indian affiliate of the Wall Street Journal) on the above issue. The article was published in the issue dated 24th December 2007.
As I note in my article, while Indian companies still have a
lot of distance to cover before they can assume leadership in global innovation
networks, there are several encouraging signs regarding the potential for that.
Importantly, the experience they gained during the outsourcing revolution – i.e.
from partnering with global innovation leaders such as IBM, Eli Lilly, Intel, HP,
and Boeing - may prove to be very beneficial as they pursue efforts to
establish and lead their own global innovation networks.
