Study China's and India's Bids to Become R&D Powerhouses

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/76c20f/chinas_and_india)
has announced the addition of the "China's and India's Bids to Become
R&D Powerhouses" report to their offering.

China and India have both established themselves as world-class
competitors - not to speak of exporters - in important segments of the
global economy: China in manufacturing and India in services. Both
countries have climbed rapidly up the value chain in these fields.
China, for example, has progressed from textiles and footwear into a
huge range of technology-based products, which now account for almost
one-third of the country's total exports. India, meanwhile, has
evolved from maintaining legacy computer code and doing the grunt work
required with Y2K compliance into a premier source of leading-edge SOA
application development and business process optimization and
outsourcing.

Both countries will compete increasingly with each other - and
with dozens of other developed and emerging countries - to become the
high-tech R&D and manufacturing back offices to the world. Both,
however, recognize the need to go much further than to support the
needs of Western corporations. Both are also taking big steps toward
developing their own global high-tech companies and their own global
high-tech brands.

Key Topics Covered:

- Key messages

- India and China's move up the economic value chain

- China and India's entry into high-tech R&D services
