Test-II: English LanguageDirections (Q. 41-50): Read the following passage

carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certainwords/phrases in the passage are printed in bold to helpyou locate them while answering some of the questions.

Over the past thousands of years, we have generatedan enormous amount of wealth. Living standards haveimproved dramatically. It is clear that the key driver behindall of this wealth is technological innovation that startedwith the ability to use tools.

There are three broad steps in wealth creation: inventa new method, perfect it, apply it. Indian businesses andindustry in general have generated most of their wealthfrom the last step, a little from the second and almost nothingfrom the first. We tend to go backwards and end up withseverely limited opportunities compared with those whostart from the first step. That is a fundamental differencebetween Indian businesses and businesses of the highlydeveloped world. Many of the things that define modernlife were invented by Europeans and Americans. Theycreated wealth not only from the first step, they alsoestablished first claim on the second and third steps.

Unsurprisingly, then, their share dominates the globalwealth. The Chinese, Japanese and Koreans excelled inperfecting production techniques; as a result they havemanaged to corner a substantial chunk of the wealth.

Once things like roads, electricity, televisions, cars,malls, toasters, soaps and so on have been invented andtheir use or implementation defined, it is possible to createwealth simply by making more of them and selling them tothe population neglected by the inventors and theimprovisers. That has largely been the market for Indiancompanies. But they have just not focused on innovation.In terms of valuation, India’s largest companies are in theregion of about $40-45 billion depending upon the stockmarket.

Those companies took generations to get there, andnot to forget, many of them were generously helped bywhat is euphemistically called crony capitalism. On theother hand, a 17-year-old student in the US named MarkZuckerberg built a company in 10 years that had an IPOvalued at $100 billion! (Facebook, in spite of a lowervaluation now, is still bigger than Reliance or DLF.) ConsiderGoogle, founded barely 15 years ago by two students. Itnow stands at a whopping $300 billion. Then there aremore mature companies such as Apple that are worth over$400 billion. These achievements are entirely to the creditof the founders.

Many Indian ‘experts’ in business and finance tend todismiss these companies as vapourware, paper money, merewebsites, luck or even as companies that do no real work.However, if we examine our daily living standards, it wouldbe hard to find any contribution from Indian companies.

Virtually everything around us, from the internet tolighting to healthcare, was invented by the developedcountries. If they had not been, we would have still beenliving in the Stone Age; on the other hand, if Indian industryhad not been there, no one would have noticed.

While this comparison may seem odious, it highlightsthe one-way relationship as far as innovation is concerned.

Government at various levels periodically exhortsscientists and engineers to push the boundaries. Butfocusing on technologists is like putting the cart beforethe horse. Innovation is not the domain of technologists.They are one link in the chain. US companies such as Intel,IBM and Google routinely outsource the development oftheir latest technologies to Indian engineers; yet thesecannot be called Indian innovations. In the same way if anIndian company were to innovate and if the work related totechnology were outsourced to American engineers, thatwould still be Indian innovation.

The most crucial element of innovation is building abusiness case, funding it and commercialising it. That isthe domain of businessmen and finance experts; it is alsothe weakest link in India. There is little knowledge of howto assess the risks and rewards of innovation.41. How have Indian businesses generated most of their

by inventing new methods but also establishedclaim on perfecting and applying these methods.

4) Despite technical excellence, China, Japan andKorea have failed to accumulate a substantial chunkof the wealth.

Reliance.3) As per the latest valuation, Apple is smaller than

Google.4) Had the developed countries not invented what

they have, we would have still been living in theStone Age.

5) None of these45. What is the main intention of the writer behind writing

stage2) To establish that India’s businesses are based on

applications, not on innovations3) To prove that we don’t have brain to innovate

anything4) To establish that only foreign companies know how

to commercialise innovations5) To prove that America and European countries
