This has earned it the title of the 'Silicon Valley of India'. The city's\r\ncomparative advantage in the IT industry in India emanates from various factors, of which favourable\r\ngovernment policy, high quality work force, and the availability of research laboratories are some of its\r\ncrucial determinants.\r\nThis research aims to understand the reasons for Bangalore's success in attracting both foreign and\r\ndomestic IT industries (especially between the mid-i 980s, when the Indian economy showed the initial\r\nsigns of opening up, and the mid-I 990s), and investigates the extent to which the city can continue to\r\nbe the most preferred location for IT industry in the country.\r\nThree research hypotheses have been tested in this research study. The first is directed towards the\r\nglobal IT industry, and contends that the global IT industry's interest in India goes beyond mere price\r\nconsiderations alone. The second proposes that the success of Bangalore in attracting the IT\r\nindustries is due to a synergy of factors, which include favourable government policies, availability of\r\nskilled professionals, and local presence of research institutes and laboratories. The third hypothesis\r\nis guided towards the industry-institution linkage, and argues that there exists a strong link between\r\nthe IT industry and the research laboratories in Bangalore, which has helped underpin growth in the\r\nlocal IT industry.\r\nThe empirical analysis was conducted at tm, levels. One at the national level of policy making, and\r\nanother at the city level. The research is based on both secondary sources of data and primary data\r\ncollection. The study relied on two types of field surveys, a firm-level survey and a policy makers\r\nsurvey. An understanding of the competitiveness of Bangalore is carried out using a set of indicators\r\nwhich include inter ella level of telecommunications infrastructure, government policies, availability of\r\nindustrial/office space, skilled labour and specialised services.\r\nThe study finds that initially the main reason for the industrial growth in Bangalore was to be found in\r\nthe strong industrial tradition of the region, dating back to the earlier part of the twentieth century and\r\nlater, by government owned electronics and telecommunication industries that were founded in the city\r\nimmediately after the country's independence (in 1947). Electronics industries continued to base\r\nthemselves during the 1 960s and through the I 980s in the city. However, when the Indian economic\r\npolicy was hberalised from the mid-1980s and more perceptibly after 1991, it was the lnfomiation\r\nTechnology industries that began to establish themselves in Bangalore primarily to tap the available\r\nprofessional skills, and to make use of the city's existing base as a prominent centre for high\r\ntechnology industries. The research also found that there are strong links between the research\r\ninstitutes and laboratories and the private IT companies in Bangalore especially in R&D related\r\nactivities. While many of the interviewed companies felt that Bangalore would continue to be the\r\npreferred location for the IT industry in the country, they do not rule out the possibility that an\r\nimpending infrastructure crisis in the city will undermine its competitiveness."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1339570> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/date> "1997" . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/document/29334> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/Document> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-a64c3df5861c6582807add1abaadf2af> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Organization> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-a64c3df5861c6582807add1abaadf2af> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> "UCL (University College London)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1339570> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/issuer> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-a64c3df5861c6582807add1abaadf2af> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-955efa444fbf6f350d33e7118aaebf85> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Organization> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-955efa444fbf6f350d33e7118aaebf85> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> "Development Planning Unit, UCL (University College London)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-955efa444fbf6f350d33e7118aaebf85> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/isPartOf> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-a64c3df5861c6582807add1abaadf2af> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1339570> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/issuer> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-955efa444fbf6f350d33e7118aaebf85> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-a64c3df5861c6582807add1abaadf2af> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/hasPart> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-955efa444fbf6f350d33e7118aaebf85> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1339570> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/status> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/status/unpublished> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1339570> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-2ab7872847e69a4aa39dfaa1d2543ca4> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1339570> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/authorList> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1339570#authors> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1339570#authors> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#_1> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-2ab7872847e69a4aa39dfaa1d2543ca4> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-2ab7872847e69a4aa39dfaa1d2543ca4> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-2ab7872847e69a4aa39dfaa1d2543ca4> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/givenName> "S."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-2ab7872847e69a4aa39dfaa1d2543ca4> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/familyName> "Srinivas"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-2ab7872847e69a4aa39dfaa1d2543ca4> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> "S.
