A research study evaluated the effects of organizational changes on productivity, wage structure, employment and policy making in India. India's footwear industry could accelerate technological change owing to the government's policies and liberalization programs. However, the effects of technological advancements on the country's socioeconomic conditions could deviate according to sector or region. Rather than India's industrial structure, factors such as market conditions, skills and raw materials will influence the socioeconomic impact of technology.
