‘Successful entrepreneur Ashok Raj commits suicide’, read the headlines of newspaper articles. He was found hanging from a ceiling fan. James Antony, a retired police officer remembers solving the case in the 1980s. It turned out be one of the most interesting days of his life when he received a phone call reporting the suicide. But things change within minutes of him reaching the crime scene—evidence revealed it was not a suicide but a cold blooded murder. Who was responsible for it? Umpteen clues and a trail of mystery shroud the truth. But will James find out who the killers really are before time runs out and innocent lives are sacrificed?

Focusing on innovation governance and public policies, it aims to understand related governance failures and to explore options for alternative, more efficient approaches.

This book examines the two most populous nations on earth – India and China – in an effort to demystify the interaction between intellectual property rights (IPR) regimes, innovation and economic growth by critically looking at the economic and legal realities. In addition, it analyzes the question of how innovation can best be transformed into IPR, and how IPR can best be exploited to encourage innovation. Comparing and contrasting these two giant nations can be highly beneficial as China and India were the two fastest-growing economies in the last three decades, and together their populations make up one third of the world’s total population; as such, exploring how to sustain their g...
A careful examination of some widely held propositions on economic performance and the outcome of economic reforms initiated in India during the 1990s, this comprehensive reference includes studies on industrial development, economic growth, and reforms carried out over the decade. Grappling with contemporary issues of economic growth, industrial change, and policy initiatives, this analysis situates the studies in relevant literature and indicates how they have contributed to the ongoing discourse on economic analysis and policy in India.
In our approach to the issue under consideration we have dealt with the enunciation of the concept of Copyright, and we have also considered the socio- cultural, scientific & economic applications and implications of the right, more specifically, in the digital context. As we all know change is intrinsic to 'society', which never remains static but is always evolving, and, from time to time, witnesses new developments in social, scientific and economic fields. Under the foregoing chapters of this work-up, we have discussed the development of digital technology and the Internet in 'scientific sphere', and how these scientific developments have created problems before the economics, the sociol...
