What the paper says

<p>This study uses an innovation systems approach to identify constraints in technology diffusion in machine tools in India. Until early 1980s, government was a significant producer of conventional machine tools. But, with adoption of Computer Numeric Control (CNC) machine tool technology from early 1980s, the innovation system for CNC machine tools shows considerable changes. A review of successful catching-up in East Asian countries helps to identify distinctive features of industrial, technological and institutional structures that supported technology diffusion in these countries. The innovation systems framework shows that while the main actors and institutions are present, their roles are constrained by weak links. Strengthening interconnections in the innovation system requires policy initiatives that will eliminate regulatory and infrastructural constraints, foster supplier networks, build producer-user interface, strengthen industry-academia links and promote spatial cluster dynamics. Such policy measures can also contribute to growth of manufacturing sector and ensure success of the Make in India program. </p>
