DESCRIPTION:

Wassey Omar was intimated by the Rolex Watch Co of Switzerland, in March 1993, to develop an innovative dobby used in weaving looms in developing countries. For this, he needed monetary support. Whether he should seek the Government of Pakistan's patronage, was an issue he needed time to think about. The case assesses whether the existing institutional mechanisms in the country support and encourage innovation / commercialization.
