IT and the East

HOW CHINA AND INDIA ARE ALTERING THE FUTURE OF TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION

By: James M. Popkin and Partha Iyengar

This well-organized book profiles China, India and then talks about a potential merger of the two, Chindia,

The book starts by profiling China, the success of the past 20 years, how they are the leading manufacturer in many categories, and how they can bring their innovation up a level.  The book then turns to India and their developed IT sector.  The rest of the book talks about how the two countries could merge together and create a power block in the global economy. 

Popkin and Iyengar examine the vital questions:

• Can Western firms compete in Asian markets while protecting key intellectual property?
• What’s the long-term impact of high-tech outsourcing?
• How will innovation be managed in the future?
• Will the innovation engine inexorably shift east?  What would such a shift mean for Western countries currently driving innovation?

Although the book is about IT, business leaders and strategists will glean useful information.
