India to lead second wave of IT adoption:
India may lead the second wave of IT adoption as companies here kept up investments despite the recession and seemed more forward-looking than their counterparts globally, according to IBM Corp. Forty per cent of Indian companies, surveyed by IBM in July, said they wanted to be first to adopt a new technology, while only 11% said they would wait till technology was widely available.
India is riding a new wave of globalization-``and prosperity--as the economics of IT outsourcing, design and development propel it into a new role as a technology leader.
