Tracing the Role of Government Policies in the Development of India's Automobile Industry","description":"The impressive and sustained growth of India's automobile industry in recent years has catapulted it into the league of the world's top-seven producers of four-wheelers. In the past decade, its exports have surged more than 25 percent a year on average. The turning point was arguably the 1991 policy of economic liberalization, but the impact of the reforms might have been subdued, if the Government of India had not played a pivotal role in the industry's evolution. This apparent \"paradox\" may be the key to understanding why the industry has adjusted so quickly to globalization, even though economic reforms began relatively late. This study identifies the main thrusts of policy regimes for the automobile sector since 1947, which began in an overregulation mode in the early period of independence. Nonetheless, the government consciously attempted to create and sustain favorable \"innovation systems\" at national, regional, and sectoral levels. Especially since 1991, many policy initiatives have benefited the industry and helped it reach the growth path it is following today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rajnish Tiwari,Cornelius Herstatt,Mahipat Ranawat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1932728902\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781932728903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e East-West Center\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.17d","brand":"Rajnish Tiwari","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930903888127,"sku":"9781932728903","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_81349699-3a41-44b7-be46-6b494972543b.jpg?v=1766345081","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/benevolent-benefactor-or-insensitive-regulator-rajnish-tiwari-9781932728903","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
