Abstract: The growth of any manufacturing business seems to pass through qualitatively distinct stages, having differential needs for innovation. This relation, between evolution of technology and its demand for innovation, is tested here. With firm-level data from Indian industry, collected specifically for this study, the proposition finds a high degree of support. It is further supplemented by data on the stimulus for innovation which explains why the theory is only partially adequate.
