1980年，印度的软件业几乎还不存在。到20世纪90年代，该行业已成为制造业中最大的雇主之一。其他新兴经济体也出现了类似的增长模式。因此，鉴于软件行业通常被视为高科技行业，为什么高科技产业似乎不太可能发展的国家会出现如此惊人的增长？这本书探讨了这一现象背后的原因，并询问它是否暗示了一种新的经济发展模式。这些撰稿人探讨了这些新来者进入软件市场对全球行业的影响，以及关于人力资本在经济增长、公司形成和能力、商业和管理模式以及行业结构中的作用是否有值得学习的东西。各章包括关于巴西、中国、印度、爱尔兰和以色列的国别研究，并有关于这些国家软件增长模式突出的一些关键问题的横向章节的补充，最显著的是跨国公司的作用、熟练工人流动的全球化以及公司能力的形成。所研究地区的增长模式的新颖性，使这本书有助于理解世界一些新兴地区经济增长新的微观基础背后的分析和实证问题。本书的撰稿人：Ashish Arora、卡内基梅隆大学Suma Atherye、开放大学Antonio J.Junqueira Botelho、创世研究所、临时大学、里约热内卢Dan Breznits、麻省理工学院Alfonso Gambardella、圣安娜高级研究学院Marco Giarratana、卡洛斯三世大学、马德里Devesh Kapur、哈佛大学Steven Kepper、卡内基梅隆大学John McHale、皇后大学亚历山德罗·帕加诺、意大利乌比诺大学Anita Sands、卡内基梅隆大学Giancarlo Stefato、Sociedade Bralesiira Para Promocao Software SalatTorrisi、卡梅里诺大学、Camerino大学、意大利Ted Tschang，新加坡管理大学Francisco Veloso，卡内基梅隆大学兰雪，清华大学
In 1980 the Indian software industry was practically non-existent. By the 1990s the industry was one of the largest employers in manufacturing. Similar patterns of growth can be found in other emerging economies. So given that the software industry is commonly viewed as a high-tech industry, how is it that such spectacular growth has occurred in countries where high-tech industries would not seem likely to develop? This book examines the reasons behind this phenomenon, and asks whether it suggests a new model of economic development. The contributors explore the implications of the rise of these newcomers to the software market for the global industry, and whether there are things to be learnt about the role of human capital in economic growth, firm formation and capabilities, business and managerial models, and industry structure. Chapters include country studies on Brazil, China, India, Ireland, and Israel, and are complemented by cross-cutting chapters on some of the key issues highlighted by the growth patterns of software in these nations, most notably the role of the multinational companies, the globalization of the skilled worker flows, and the formation of firm capabilities. The novelty of the growth patterns in the regions that studied makes this book useful for understanding analytical and empirical issues underlying new microfoundations of economic growth in some emerging regions of the world.
