This paper shows that the market-driven increase in alliances between Indian and US enterprises has also significantly enhanced the variety of linkages between public and private entities in both countries. The nature of technology cooperation is explored, and the question of how firms can utilize technological capabilities for growth and diversification is addressed. The author also argues that while public institutions and policies relating to trade and investment remain important, a shift in policy focus to 'market induced' inter-firm alliances may be more desirable.
