Transforming India's Manufacturing, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book brings together a collection of studies and perspectives that explore the prospects and challenges confronting the Indian industry and its manufacturing sector towards becoming globally competitive, fostering inclusive job creation, and adopting sustainable, environmentally friendly practices. The book examines the industrial landscape through three key lenses: competitiveness and productivity, inclusive growth for the small-scale and labour-intensive sectors, and sustainable industrialisation. The 15 contributions in the volume are evidence-based, drawing on a variety of firm-level datasets and analytical techniques, providing rich insights for future policy towards creating a manufacturing ecosystem that is more competitive, inclusive, job-creating, and environmentally responsible. The book is forward-looking as it analyses contemporary issues such as GVC integration, innovative activities, import competition, FDI inflows, e-commerce, energy efficiency, business responsibility, and sustainability reporting (BRSR) to offer policy prescriptions for the future. It is, thus, a valuable resource for academics, industry leaders, and policymakers.
