Informal Information Sharing in Low-Technology Clusters in India

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers an innovative examination of how `low¿technology¿ industries operate. Based on extensive fieldwork in India, the book fuses economic and sociological perspectives on information sharing by means of informal interaction in a low-technology cluster in a developing country. In doing so, the book sheds new light on settings where economic relations arise as emergent properties of social relations.
