      abstract = {Technology in several forms, especially Information  Technology (IT), has a strong tendency to converge at  varying degrees. This phenomenon of converging innovation  is likely to deepen and widen in the future due to intense  competition in global markets. Asian manufacturing firms in  particular lead the global industrial innovation.  Convergent innovation exists as a constant disequilibrium  between reference technology and matching technology;  innovations of these technologies occur at different  degrees to attain an optimal balance. Innovations as a  result of convergence are often beneficial, improving  welfare and employment. This book sheds light on the  little-discussed idea of convergent innovation with  examples hailing from Asia. The book also proposes new  theories and investigates convergence at the micro level -  guaranteed food for thought for academics interested in  innovation economics and management.},
