The International Computer Software Industry
This is the first book to provide comparative research data on the software industry in three major parts of the world: the U.S., Japan, Western Europe, and the Russian Federation. It explores the reasons that some countries have had more success in software development than others. The book looks at the role of government in fostering software development, the importance of protecting intellectual property rights to stimulate development, the separation of hardware and software development, and the ways in which industry structures are likely to change or stay the same in the future. The research was conducted by a group of international experts in the software industry.

From Underdogs to Tigers
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. So given that 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 phenomenon, and asks whether it suggests a new model of economic development. The contributors explore the implications of the rise of these newcomers to the software market for the global industry, and whether there are things to be learnt about the role of human capital in economic growth, firm formation and capabilities, business and managerial models, and industry structure.
