This paper examines the role of technological efforts, both internal (in-house R&D) and external (technology imports), in determining inter-firm variations in internationalization. The study, using the resource-based perspective, finds that there are differences in the determinants of exports and overseas investments. Also, the effects of the technological factors differ between a software and services firm and a hardware firm. The study finds support to the view that, presently, IT firms in India are gaining competitive advantage over their rivals by exploiting the technological gap along with factor cost differentials. The paper suggests that the firms need to create niche markets to have long-run competitive advantage in the international market.References

The latest in PDAs and cellular telephones allow the user to access stock quotes, sports scores, E-mail, and more. The other advantage of the movement to embed the Internet is enabling client devices, such as appliances and vending machines, to connect to the Internet and upload status information. The price for such products is being reduced dramatically due to the introduction of new technology. The present Literature related generally to monitoring condition. More particularly, the present Literature related to the ability to monitor environmental conditions at a site with increase reliability and accuracy as well as the ability to increase real time data from a remote location. A Remote Monitoring System includes a sensor interface, a processor and wireless communication interface. A sensor interface receives sensor information from a sensor coupled to the sensor interface. The processor process the sensor information into at least one data packets from transferring to a server. The wireless communication interface transfers the data packets over wireless communication to the server.Keywords

This paper analyses pre and post-reform performance of Indian power sector. The averages of the physical indicators of two periods have been compared and tested for differences if any, using independent t test. We find that average consumption rate of electricity used for agricultural, domestic and commercial purposes have improved. However, the electricity used for industrial sector has shown a declining trend during the reform period. Other important findings emerge from the study are: average transmission and distribution losses increased during the reform period much faster than the pre-reform period; the energy generation mix remains dominated by thermal power; the share of private sector into total power generation capacity has improved marginally by 2.5 per cent; the share of hydro power has declined from 29.50 to 16.52 per cent; and energy generation by nuclear source remains the same during the reform period.- Effects of Climate Change on Household Economy and Adaptive Responses among Agricultural Households in Eastern Coast of India
