“…Within international markets, firms face an acute competition, rapid technological changes and more difficulties in obtaining important know-how (Teece, 2007). The intensity of global competition, shorter product life cycles, accelerate product research and development, and the easiness of imitation impel exporting firms to innovation activity as a way to ensure their competitiveness (Chadha, 2009;Roper & Love, 2002;Salomon & Shaver, 2005a). Innovation is critical for the firms' survival and long-term success (Evangelista et al, 1997;O'Regan et al, 2006;Yam et al, 2004).…”

The development of innovation capability is an important topic for both managers and academics. However, studies that investigate which elements integrate innovation capability in the context of export market are very scarce. The purpose of this paper is to identify important dimensions to build a scale for measuring innovation capability in exporting firms. Survey data of 471 exporting manufacturing firms was used to develop this scale. The findings reveal that innovation capability is a higher-order construct formed by four dimensions: innovativeness, technological capability, innovation strategy and new product development capability. The results also indicate that all four dimensions of the innovation capability scale are positively and significantly associated with export venture performance.

“…Some researchers have also used the Indian pharmaceutical industry to investigate the impact of patent policy changes. Chadha () found that the patenting activity of the pharmaceutical firms increased after the TRIPs agreement. Mahajan () found the patent policy changes resulted in increased R&D efforts.…”

Emerging economies realizing the importance of innovation are taking steps to enhance their innovative capabilities. Among the tools used, institutional factor such as patent protection policy is being increasingly used by such economies, despite mixed research evidence linking patent protection policies and innovation. This study investigates the effects of patent policy changes on stimulating innovation in India. Panel data regression technique is used on data for 1989–1990 to 2009–2010. The results indicate that patent policy changes, specifically, increase in the protection duration, enforcement mechanism, and membership into international convention dimensions of patent policy have positive influence on the R&D intensity.

“…From a socio-legal perspective, Gostin [102] provides a critical analysis of current global health architecture and need for change in order to meet basic health needs and to ensure greater country ownership and autonomy within health. With regards to TRIPS, common themes were the analysis of implications of new patent laws on access to medicines, particularly antiretrovirals [103,104] and of the emerging opportunities and challenges for pharmaceutical industries [105-110]. Papers consider how India has responded to TRIPS, how patent policies have been amended and implemented within India, and to what extent innovation and research and development has been stimulated following increased patent protection.…”

“…There were two microeconomic analyses. Fink [107] calibrates a theoretical model with data from the pharmaceutical industry in India to simulate the possible impact of stronger patent policies on transnational corporations and in turn on market and welfare impacts, and Chadha [105] draws on product cycle and neo-technology theories of trade to analyse export performance of 131 Indian pharmaceutical companies.…”

National and transnational health care systems are rapidly evolving with current processes of globalisation. What is the contribution of the social sciences to an understanding of this field? A structured scoping exercise was conducted to identify relevant literature using the lens of India – a ‘rising power’ with a rapidly expanding healthcare economy. A five step search and analysis method was employed in order to capture as wide a range of material as possible. Documents published in English that met criteria for a social science contribution were included for review. Via electronic bibliographic databases, websites and hand searches conducted in India, 113 relevant articles, books and reports were identified. These were classified according to topic area, publication date, disciplinary perspective, genre, and theoretical and methodological approaches. Topic areas were identified initially through an inductive approach, then rationalised into seven broad themes. Transnational consumption of health services; the transnational healthcare workforce; the production, consumption and trade in specific health-related commodities, and transnational diffusion of ideas and knowledge have all received attention from social scientists in work related to India. Other themes with smaller volumes of work include new global health governance issues and structures; transnational delivery of health services and the transnational movement of capital. Thirteen disciplines were found represented in our review, with social policy being a clear leader, followed by economics and management studies. Overall this survey of India-related work suggests a young and expanding literature, although hampered by inadequacies in global comparative data, and by difficulties in accessing commercially sensitive information. The field would benefit from further cross-fertilisation between disciplines and greater application of explanatory theory. Literatures around stem cell research and health related commodities provide some excellent examples of illuminating social science. Future research agendas on health systems issues need to include innovative empirical work that captures the dynamics of transnational processes and that links macro-level change to fine-grained observations of social life.
