Apart from public sector enterprises the government expenditure in departmental services provides for the major economy generating activities in the city. As a consequence, the economic and professional culture of this society demonstrates somewhat different picture than that of cities like Ahmedabad, Bombay or Calcutta. Prompted by this specific feature and also or matters of convenience our brief attempt to understand the business response to changing business environment has been confined to Visakhapatnam. 1996-03-13T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ediindia.ac.in:8181/xmlui//handle/123456789/664 Patterns of Internalisation by Larger Indian Firms: Emerging Evidence Chaudhuri, Shekhar "Internationalization" and "globalization" are two words which have caught the fancy of managers, policy makers and management academics in India during the last four years following the adoption of the New Economic Policy by the Government of India in mid-1991. These two words which would be used interchangeably in this paper refer to the movement of a firm outside the boundaries of the country. Seen in a systemic perspective outward movement can embrace one or more of each of the systemic components of a firm; acquisition of resources; transformation of resource into outputs; and disposal of the firm's outputs (Chaudhuri an Khandwalla, 1985). Thus internalization at the enterprise level involves some or all of the following: products and services; export of technology; investments in foreign countries which may include setting up of marketing, distribution and servicing facilities in foreign countries that may be wholly owned or in partnership with foreign partners; establishment of manufacturing facilities, which again could be wholly owned or in partnership or collaboration with foreign partners; shopping globally for technologies just for the domestic market but export; inducting into the organization suitable technical and managerial personnel and management practices from abroad. 1996-03-13T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ediindia.ac.in:8181/xmlui//handle/123456789/663 Implication of Economic Reform for Foreign Direct Investment in India Keshari, Pradeep K The attitude of developing countries towards Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has become favourable over the past decade. The arguments of dependency school disfavouring FDI (see Jenkins 1989 for a summary of the arguments) and of inward looking development strategy popular in the sixties and seventies no longer appeal to these countries. Due to the packaged nature of FDI, which involves not only equity capital in foreign currency but also proprietary technology, managerial and marketing expertise, organizational skill and access to international distribution network of multinational corporations, (MNCs), FDI is being recognized as an important factor that can accelerate the economic growth of the developing countries and improve their international competitiveness. Increasing number of developing countries is, therefore, improving their policy regimes to channel larger flows of FDI in their economies (refer to an issue of Asian Development Review, Vol.11 No.1, 993 on FDI in Asian and Pacific region). Belatedly, India too has joined the club of these developing countries. The main objective this paper are to briefly review the recent developments in economic policy of the Government of India, particularly with respect to FDI and then examine their impact on the trend, extent, patterns and prospects of FDI into the country. 1996-03-13T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ediindia.ac.in:8181/xmlui//handle/123456789/662 Asian Capitalists in Comparative Perspective: An Introduction Rutten, Mario; Upadhyay, Carol Following the economic growth of the New Industrializing Countries in East Asia, several countries in South and Southeast Asia are now experiencing unprecedented fast development of their economies. This recent economic development in Asia has been accompanied by the emergence of new business classes. Supported by an active government policy and partly benefitting from collaboration with foreign capital, these entrepreneurs are generally thought to have become economically, socially and politically one of the most powerful categories within the emerging middle-class of Asia today. Over the past two decades there have been several studies that focus on these new business classes at the national level. The recent interest in big enterprise in Asia has led to several publications that together provide us with a comparative and historically insight into the emergence of this new class of Asian entrepreneurs operating at the national level: its way of conducting business, its ability to pursue its economic and socio-political interest vis-à-vis their groups in society and vis-à-vis the government, and its international link. 1996-03-13T00:00:00Z
