Raphael Kaplinksi, Professor of International Development at the Open University

This slidecast discusses how product innovation, stimulated by consumer demand, has changed since the middle of the last century. It argues that the large populations - and hitherto untapped markets - of India and China will motivate multi-national corporations to change their innovation strategies. It predicts this change will have profound consequences on Global Markets, the Environment and the role of Technology Development organisations.

This presentation forms part of Practical Action's introduction to innovation within market systems.
