*Call for Book Chapters: India’s Technology-Led Development* *Series: Emerging Issues and Trends in Indian Business and Economics* *Volume 1. Emerging issues and trends in India’s technology dimension* Editors: Vipin Gupta, N. Ravichandran, and Samir Chatterjee Publisher: World Scientific (Worldscientific.com) Targeted Publication Date: January 2022 Paper Submission Deadline: May 31, 2021 As the contemporary strategy and international literature demonstrates, the industrial paradigm of reliance on the off-the-shelf globally tradable technology for corporate, national, and international development has serious limitations. The new paradigms of digitization and robotics are offering opportunities to codify and automate the local ways for managing logistics, operations, and services. How has, is, and should India tap these opportunities to develop global leadership in integrated method and machinery solutions? In fact, the global pandemic of 2020 has shaken the fundamental foundations of business and economics in all nations. By virtue of the size of its population, geographical inequities in development, and pre-dominance of self-employed and micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises, India faces unique challenges for the sustainability and growth of business and economics. In the past, the mantra for the growth of local firms was to globalize international supply chains by becoming their learning nodes, and by servicing integrated globalized learning to the global hubs. In the post-COVID world, as the global hubs give their own intellectually-protected local voice to the values acquired historically from diverse local hubs, local firms in the emerging markets need fundamentally divergent models for sustaining their growth. At the corporate and national levels, India is increasingly focusing on the policies for giving voice to globalizing the local as the path forward for all businesses and economies. Local knowledge embedded within local businesses and economic networks, that have not been appropriated by the transnational networks of the MNCs for their private gains, offer unique opportunities for globalizing local firms as well as the national networks that support them. For Volume 1 in the series on emerging issues and trends in Indian business and economics, we seek perspectives from both academics and practitioners about the functionality, quality, workculture, and cultural dimensions of fast-changing business and economy in globalizing India. We are looking for papers that illuminate India’s way for managing technology through method digitation and machine robotization at the organizational, community, national, and multinational levels. We are also interested in papers that help further the understanding of the cultural, historical, archeological, or emerging/ futuristic ways for managing technology in India. The submitted paper should be about 5,000 words.
