Abstract

Presently Asians firms are emerging in high technological arena. The exploratory evidence on alliances between the firm from emerging economies and technology suppliers from industrialized economies suggests that most of emerging economies are building explorative (upstream discoveries) alliances to acquire the new technology. At the same time, large emerging economies, that is, India and China form exploitative (downstream) alliances by providing market opportunities to their foreign technology partners. Individual alliance countries provide some interesting insight in the context of knowledge flow from the industrialized to emerging economies and newly industrialized economies of Asia. However, little attention is directed at biotechnology sectors in emerging economies, Asia. It is important to understand their evolution by understanding their business activity-based technology partners from the advanced economies. So keeping this in view, this paper explores how Emerging Asian biotechnology systems are shaping their resource partners in the industrialized economies.
