Changing Dynamics of Global Computer Software and Services Industry : Implications for Developing Countries

With the expansion of knowledge-based industries, such as computer software and services, the issue of intellectual property rights (IPRs) is growing in importance. This paper explores this issue in relation to developing countries, with a view to expanding their economic opportunities in this sector. It demonstrates the growing importance of computer software by examining recent global trends in copyright-based industries, especially the associated growing demand for all information-based industries since the mid-1980s and the potential for developing countries to enter global markets.Kozul-Wright, Zeljka is the author of 'Changing Dynamics of Global Computer Software and Services Industry : Implications for Developing Countries', published 2005 under ISBN 9789211125504 and ISBN 9211125502.
