Rezension:

"Say the words disruptive technologies and what comes to mind are Silicon Valley, DC, New York, and London. But far away from the tech zones of the developed countries, a revolution is brewing in developing countries. From Haiti to India, innovative and disruptive technologies are changing the face of international business. Maurya, Munoz, Gaur and Singh, along with a powerful group of experts, have tackled the important issue of cross pollination of knowledge and innovation - but this time with an eye on the emergence of disruptive technologies from the Global South. A timely and powerful book."
