Excerpt from the Book
The factors determining the country's productivity
One of the main factors that affect productivity in India is the technical influences. According to Debnath (2017), India has vastly advanced when it comes to technological integration. Indeed, the country boasts of the strongest Information and Communication Technology Sector. Apart from this, India is making concerted efforts to launch its satellites into space. The rich technological profile in India has played a huge role in driving the scope of production with minimum effort and costs, which has, in turn, promoted a higher level of productivity. The government is well aware that technological advent usually brings rise to Intellectual property issues. Therefore, according to Debnath (2017), the regime has put in place stern measures to safeguard these properties.
Managerial factors have also been influential. According to Cappelli, Singh, Singh, and Useem (2010), managers in India usually place great value on their core responsibilities. They perceive themselves as the keepers of the organizational culture, as representatives of investors and owners’ interests, and as guides, teachers, and role models for the workers. This portrays that the Indian managers are not only progressive but also imaginative, which is the key to tapping greater output of both human and non-human resources. Natural factors are also worth mentioning. India is a land of vast natural resources, which include coal, iron ore, mica, manganese, bauxite, natural gas, limestone, and diamonds among others (Ghani, Kerr, & Stanton, 2014). The presence of these resources has led to the emergence of numerous key manufacturing organizations, which has, in turn, promoted the level of productivity.
