%0 Journal Article %J Technology Innovation Management Review %D 2018 %T The Dynamics of Knowledge Sharing in the Biotechnology Industry: An Indian Perspective %A Tripurasundari Joshi %K absorptive capacity %K biotechnology %K India %K knowledge sharing %K tacit knowledge %X The role of biotechnology in providing an alternate, more productive approach to new drug development is well accepted globally. Multinational pharmaceutical companies have begun outsourcing product development and its clinical validation to biotechnology firms in India. The sector in India has also witnessed the entry of startups in various phases of the drug development value chain. Technological innovation is a key growth driver in the “bio pharma” vertical in recognition of which numerous alliances are seen in the sector in India. These alliances have put in place a structure for technological learning to happen, which is necessary for innovation. However, the nature of knowledge in biotechnology, in large measure, is both tacit and complex. Such knowledge is difficult to transfer. At the same time, transferability of knowledge is critical to developing technological capability, which in turn can facilitate the technological innovations that are crucial for the growth of the sector in India. The current research is motivated by the question of how the firms in this sector deal with this paradox. An exploratory approach is adopted to understand the practices of knowledge sharing as well as its perceived impediments at the firm level in the Indian context. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 8 %P 5-15 %8 01/2018 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/1129 %N 1 %1 Nirma University Tripurasundari Joshi is an Assistant Professor in the marketing area at the Institute of Management at Nirma University in Ahmedabad, India.

Many would assume they would be. However, firms that are entrepreneurial in nature and belong to emerging markets may or may not follow the established models of developed economies. In this study, we sought to explore various types of entrepreneurial models that are prevalent in an emerging market. For this purpose, we collected primary and secondary data to identify characteristics of technology-based entrepreneurial firms in India. Based on the two dimensions of degree of demand/supply and expected loss/risk, we identify four models of entrepreneurship – incremental, proactive, radical, and reactive – and illustrate each model with examples from Indian companies. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 8 %P 24-32 %8 01/2018 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/1131 %N 1 %1 Management Development Institute, Gurgaon Shiv S Tripathi is an Assistant Professor in the area of Strategic Management at the Management Development Institute in Gurgaon, India.

Following a public–private partnership (PPP) model, there is a general belief among policy makers that the revenue from government-to-consumer (G2C) services would be sufficient to cover the village-level entrepreneurs’ cash flow requirements and therefore provide financial sustainability. Also, the literature suggests that telecentres have a large enough market for public-access businesses to be commercially viable. In India, around 100,000 telecentres are being set up to serve 600,000 villages – one telecentre for every six villages – to provide one-window access to government services. In the literature, a lack of government services is often quoted as a reason for telecentre failure. This study, using an exploratory approach, aims to understand the parameters that relate to the sustainability of telecentres across a number of common, government-related services. It is observed that some telecentres perform better than the others even though they have the same number of government-related services. Reasons for such differences are explored and the learnings from this research will benefit the stakeholders who are engaged in providing telecentre-based services in other developing countries. In addition, a theoretical framework is suggested to understand the dynamics between different types of sustainability parameters such as financial, social, staff, technology, and institutional. The findings of this research have policy implications in terms of the way services are designed and delivered through telecentres in developing countries such as India. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 8 %P 16-23 %8 01/2018 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/1130 %N 1 %1 Nirma University Gaurav Mishra is an Assistant Professor in the Institute of Management at Nirma University in Ahmedabad, India.

Technology startups tend to thrive when inserted in a conducive entrepreneurial ecosystem. Therefore, ecosystem promotion is being given increasing policy support. However, the emergence and structure of entrepreneurial ecosystems for technology startups have hardly been traced and examined in detail. In India, Bangalore occupies a unique position in the startup world, and Hyderabad is fast emerging as one of the promising startup hubs in the country. Given this background, we set out to explore and examine the structure, evolution, and growth of ecosystems for technology startups in the context of Bangalore and Hyderabad. Both the ecosystems emerged due to the initial foundation laid in the form of government–industry–academia triple helix and their interactions leading to the emergence of a modern industrial cluster followed by an information technology and biotechnology cluster, which then led to R&D cluster serving both the cities. These three clusters together, gradually and steadily, facilitated an entrepreneurial ecosystem for technology startups to emerge. The ecosystem operates within the triple helix model and has a nucleus with two outer layers: i) an inner layer of primary (indispensable) factors and ii) an outer layer of supplementary (secondary) factors. Through the analysis of the experiences of Bangalore and Hyderabad and their ecosystem evolution, its structure, and components, we derive key lessons for others within and beyond India. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 7 %P 47-62 %8 07/2017 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/1090 %N 7 %1 Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore M H Bala Subrahmanya is a Professor of Economics in the Department of Management Studies at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, India.

Tripathi %K collaboration %K forms %K India %K manufacturing %K Open innovation %K risk %K types %X In order to succeed, it is important for any organization to leverage the power of the known and unknown networks around it. The organization must collaborate with others, and to do so requires it to open up its boundaries inside-out, outside-in, or both. However, the type of collaboration required to work with other parties and the respective output is different across different organizations on account of need, R&D intensity, capability, and risk-taking ability, as well as the nature of the business and industry. The major problem that comes in the way of open innovation in Indian organizations is their risk taking ability; the more an organization collaborates, the more risk it is taking by sharing internal information with the other parties. Through a sample of 31 manufacturing-based firms in India belonging to 12 different industries, the article explores the types of collaborations that they have with various related or unrelated organizations as they engage in open innovation. The article compares the collaborations each industry has entered into to identify the industries that are more open to take risks by collaborating with other parties in multiple ways. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 6 %P 15-23 %8 05/2016 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/987 %N 5 %1 Management Development Institute Shiv S.

Hence, ignoring controversies on whether entrepreneurship can be taught, the majority of the top business schools in India offer entrepreneurship education with tailored elective courses to inculcate a wide range of skills encompassing a multi-disciplinary approach among mature management students. However, considering the basic synergies of core management subjects such as marketing and entrepreneurship, both of which provide an opportunity to develop unique solutions to satisfy customer needs, the study of entrepreneurial aspects as a prerequisite for management education and research seems indispensable when specifically catering to the growing entrepreneurial intent in developing economies. This approach necessitates a compulsory initiation of entrepreneurship courses early in the curricula of contemporary business schools. In this context, the present article aims to qualitatively review the current entrepreneurship education regime in India to propose an effective ecosystem for integrating and promoting entrepreneurship education as fundamental to mainstream business education in India. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 4 %P 5-10 %8 08/2014 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/817 %N 8 %1 International Management Institute Kolkata Rituparna Basu is Assistant Professor in Marketing, Retail, and Entrepreneurship at the International Management Institute in Kolkata, India.

In an emerging country such as India, uncertainties are more predominant due to the very nature of the emerging country, which is characterized by an underdeveloped institutional setup, a lack of protection for legal and intellectual property rights, underdeveloped factor markets, and high transaction costs. In this article, a systematic review of the existing literature on environment and uncertainty in an entrepreneurial, emerging-economy context identifies a gap of a new scale for perceived environmental uncertainty. Three primary contributions are made by this research. First, a literature review for existing uncertainty scales and their evaluation in the context of emerging countries is provided. Second, the research identifies a gap in the uncertainty measurement literature that is relevant to emerging economies. Finally, this study proposes a future research scope that can bridge the identified gap by exploring the factors of uncertainty in emerging countries. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 4 %P 27-35 %8 08/2014 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/820 %N 8 %1 Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur Susmita Ghosh is a Research Scholar at Rajendra Mishra School of Engineering Entrepreneurship, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
