The book is divided into four parts. Part 1 identifies and analyses the conceptualisation and maturation processes in the firms and industries, the changes in the international context, and the design and implementation of government policies. Part 2 presents a description and an analysis of the policy context in Korea and India. Part 3 contains four product studies about hydraulic excavators, machining centres, integrated circuits, and plate heat exchangers. Part 4 identifies the general patterns of firm and industry behaviour in India and Korea.
