In this context, the paper considers such items as licences, reservation of items in small-scale sector, technology obsolescence, production methods, knowhows, ambient conditions, ancillary status, gestation period and skilled labour requirement, as they apply to small-scale electronic units. The paper then discusses the method of product identification and provision of infrastructural facilities and services to small-scale units. It further stresses the necessity of a flow chart in the efficient running of a small-scale unit. How process knowhow services should be given freely by National Laboratories or other institutions are considered next. A novel method of royalty payments for knowhows is also suggested.
