DESCRIPTION:

Technology Upgradation and Skill Development Company (TUSDEC) highlights the issues related to and implications of government interventions for the modernisation of industry in a less industrialised and low income country like Pakistan. The case can be used in Strategic Management courses in a number of programmes such as Social Enterprise Management, and Organisational Development. It can also be used in policy modules of courses like Development Studies and Technology Management.


LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Should Tusdec continue working? Given the operational issues being faced, should the involvement of public or private stakeholders be increased? Given the skepticism about the impartiality of Tusdec's projects, are there any measures that can be taken to ensure that such objections do no arise? What should be the five immediate steps that should be taken to solve the most urgent issues?
