Indian Steel in arrows and swords: - Iron tipped arrows used by Indians in the Persian army (480 BC) - Alexander the Great prized a gift of 100 talens of steel from Porus in 326 BC - Indian Wootz steel used for making Damuscus blades and became famous in Europe (Wootz derived from the Kannada word UKKU meaning steel) - British Royal Society made a detailed examination of Wootz Steel in 1790: their report says.the steel of India is decidedly the best I have yet met with! - Should Tatas make steel rails to British specifications, I would undertake to eat every pound of it
Sir Fredrick Upcott, Chief Commissioner of Indian Railways.
If Upcott had carried out this undertaking he would have had some slight indigestion (comment by Dorabjee Tata when the rails were sent to UK)
Worlds Centre for economic gravity is shifting towards emerging markets Emerging countries are no longer content to be sources of cheap hands and low-cost brains. Instead, they too are becoming hot beds of innovation, producing breakthroughs in everything from telecom to car making to health care. They are redesigning products to reduce costs not just by 10% but by upto 90%. They are redesigning entire business processes to do things better and faster than their rivals in the West. They are the new masters of management
Defining Competitiveness
Country Competitiveness: Extent to which a national environment is conducive or detrimental to business. Industry/Sector Competitiveness: Extent to which an industry or a business sector offers potential for growth and attractive return on investment. The concept can also be defined as the collective ability of firms in the sector to compete internationally. A more performance-oriented definition of industry competitiveness can be given as: Collective ability of an industry on performance factors such as productivity, cost, market share and technology. Company Competitiveness: Ability to design, produce and/or market products or services superior to those offered by competitors , considering the price and non-price qualities.
The productivity level also determines the rates of return obtained by investments in an economy.
The concept of competitiveness thus involves static and dynamic components.
Level of technology available to firms in a country needs to be distinguished from the countrys ability to innovate and expand the frontiers of knowledge
